From minor annoyances to major disruptions, college students have no shortage of ways to test professors. Each class you teach could have: disengaged students who spend more time on their laptop or cell phone than paying attention … students who burst into tears during office hours … over-participators who repeatedly derail conversations … or entitled students who challenge your authority in front of the entire class.


The need for proven, targeted advice in dealing with inappropriate behavior has never been greater.


Faculty Focus invites you to attend Classroom Management 102: Working with Difficult Students, a new online video seminar coming August 10. During this 90-minute program, Drs. Brian Van Brunt and Perry Francis will provide you with the tools necessary to successfully manage the full-range of student behavioral problems.


Using an ideal mix of theory and application, this online video seminar covers:

• Recognizing and addressing problems in the earliest stages
• Appropriate intervention strategies for different styles of behavior
• Dos and don’ts of working with frustrated, unmotivated students
• Making referrals to appropriate campus resources
• Heading off potential problems with clear classroom rules
• The aggression continuum and aggression management
• Crisis containment and crucial de-escalation techniques
• Working within ADA guidelines to create an optimal learning environment


Left unchecked, troublesome behavior is likely to become increasingly distracting as a semester progresses. Learn how to nip potential problems in the bud by registering for this strategy-filled seminar today.
