Disruptive student behaviour in the classroom can often over flow into student misconduct.

Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you and your colleagues will discover:

  • Tips for dealing with disruptive student behaviour in the classroom
  • Tools to identify difficult & disengaged college students
  • What to do & not do when students become hostile & threatening

There will be a 30 minute facilitated discussion following the webinar for those who wish to stay to discuss any issues they may be experiencing.

Mar. 31 Increasing Persistence to the Second Year: A Case Study Room 109, Harriet Irving Library 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm WEBINAR:
First and second year programs and services on college campuses continue to improve student transition and retention.
