Topic on Feb. 25: Disruptive Student Behavior

 

Save the date: Friday, February 25 at 1 p.m. in BTC 1033

Last year, a group of faculty members worked with Dr. Alex Popovics to create a clear procedure for faculty members in dealing with disruptive student behavior. While the Judicial System is very well described in the college catalog, it was felt that concrete guidelines were needed for faculty to follow whether such disruptive behavior was minor or major in nature. Dr. Popovics and the committee devised a flow-chart and a narrative for faculty to consult and this information is posted on the Blackboard Portal.

Last fall, Dr. Popovics presented an engaging and informative talk at the Academic Senate and a Twenty-Minute Mentor session on faculty response to disruptive student behavior. For those who have not had the opportunity to hear Dr. Popovics, please join us to discuss this often perplexing and challenging aspect of teaching.

Dr. Popovics will be joined by Fred Aliberti, director of public safety.

What if a student is sleeping in class? What if a fight breaks out in the hallway? What are my rights and responsibilities?
