How to Manage Student Behavior Without Really Trying

Description

When first entering a community college classroom, many faculty members are shocked that students don’t act like “adults.” Even seasoned faculty members are sometimes flabbergasted by students’ behavior. Workshop participants gain a new perspective on student behavior, why students behave in certain ways, and how to respond to unprofessional classroom behavior.

By the end of this workshop, participants know or be able to:

• Review current research that differentiates generational learning and communication styles.
• Review and observe at least seven different educational technology tools that are innovative, intuitive, and free.
• Learn how to create videos and other tools designed to increase students’ mastery of curriculum learning outcomes.
• Create their own accounts for educational technology tools they find most applicable to their teaching.
• Create their own videos, games, activities, and presentations based on their individual preferences.
• Review examples of their colleagues’ creations.

Plans for Audience Participation and Interaction:

Attendees work individually, brainstorming ideas to discussion questions. In addition, audience members work in groups to brainstorm and to create plans to communicate behavioral expectations.
