You will have the opportunity to hone your classroom management skills, and to determine to what extent you possess an adequate knowledge base to handle a classroom full of unruly students. Should any of these events occur in your presence, hopefully you'll be better prepared to deal with them. Ground rules for scenarios. Student, as teacher, begins to work through 3-problem set. Teacher attempts to maintain a classroom atmosphere conducive to student learning.
All students have roles in each scenario.
Students are expected to play along, being as creative as the situation warrants, but not changing the basic nature of the scenario. For instance, an argument between teacher and student should not end in a shooting. Scenarios will run from 5-10 minutes. The course instructor will determine which events are out of hand and call an end to the scenario. The students will not leave the classroom, and the classroom door will remain shut.
