Classroom Management 101: Working with Difficult Students

Tips for Overcoming Challenging Student Behavior

The Teaching Professor NewsletterDifficult students present a variety of challenges.

Some are disruptive.

Some repeatedly fail to complete assignments, while others have unreasonably high expectations for themselves.

With all of the different challenges posed by these students, which approach does one take to attempt to work successfully with them?

Not an easy question.

Fortunately, there are good answer, sound, research-based answers, that you can use to help engage these students in learning so that they can experience success.

Learn proven methods for overcoming challenging student behavior and successfully engaging students in learning in this 90-minute seminar led by Brian Van Brunt, EdD, and Jason Ebbeling, J.D..


You’ll learn about effective approaches to help you:

  • Employ presentation approaches that motivate students to learn
  • Work with students collaboratively to identify problems and take steps toward success
  • Create a classroom environment that engages students
  • Build relationships with students founded on mutual respect
  • Use empathy to acknowledge students’ concerns and to foster a climate for change and growth
  • Avoid direct argumentation while helping students understand accountability and self-responsibility
  • Be aware of resources for assistance (counseling services, academic advising, etc.) and know when and how to use them

Along with what works, you’ll also learn what doesn’t—such as certain responses to students that serve only to further alienate them or to exacerbate a problem area.
