Today I will be teaching a short 5 minute segment to the class about Jennifer Meta Robinson's paper: A Question of Authority: Dealing with Disruptive Students. I found this short paper to be very useful and even inspiring. She began by telling antecdotal accounts of teacher's encounters with disruptive students include two accounts of her own. Although this warning made me hesitate about my own potential abilities as a teacher, Robinson quickly gave advice and encouraging words on how to deal with this potential adversity from some future students. This is the part that I will focus on the most during my class presentation. She gave the following steps to mitigate disruption in the classroom:
-Set course policies at the begining of the course
-Maintain immediacay with students
-Encourage active learning
-Seek feedback
-Avoid grade trauma
-Maintain high self-esteem at all times
