TP Week 5 Discussion 1

Meredith corrects other students’ comments in class and Sondra does not participate in group activities, while Deshawn attempts to co-facilitate and Ivan is very defensive and offends others. It is the instructor’s responsibility to resolve these behavioral issues. These behaviors not only affect the student involved in these behaviors but they also impact the other students and the atmosphere of the class. What strategies might you use to correct these behavioral issues?

For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Then consider any behavioral issues that have occurred in classes that you have taken either in-person or online (see the Learning Resources for possible issues). Select one of those behavioral issues and think about the dynamics involved. Finally, reflect on how the instructor handled it, and consider at least two other strategies that you could use to deal with the issue if it occurred in a class that you were teaching.

Post by Day 3 a brief explanation of the behavioral issue you selected. Describe how the instructor resolved the issue, and explain why you feel the instructor’s approach was or was not effective. Finally, explain at least two other strategies that you could use to deal with the issue if it occurred in a class that you were teaching.

Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.
