Purpose: (1) To aid first year GTA?s in dealing with problem students, and (2) to let first year GTA?s know that everyone must deal with problem students (i.e. you are not alone).II. Real World Examples of Problem Students: - Phil - Shannon - TimIII. General Techniques for Dealing with Problem Students:- Be consistent. Do things the right way from the beginning. You want to be able to transfer the problem confidently to Dave Smit. That?s much easier if you are secure in the knowledge that you?ve done things the right way. This includes providing clear policies in your CPS at the beginning.- Be fair. Don?t treat people differently. Go out of your way to avoid this or even the perception of if.- Be accurate. Keep accurate records of attendance, grades, homework, etc. You want to be able to point to your own accuracy and let it speak for itself if a problem arises.- Don?t take things personally, good or bad. In other words, don?t get too flattered by a student?s flirtations and don?t get too flustered by a student?s anger/frustration.- Maintain professional distance. Just like a coach, you can?t be every student?s best friend. In fact, you shouldn?t be. Be human, be humorous (if that is your style), and be accessible, but don?t be a pal.- Don?t take on the world by yourself. If a student becomes a consistent problem ? particularly a threatening problem ? go to Dave Smit, Deborah, Robin, or Karin. Remember, they are here to help you, and by alerting them of a problem, you establish a record of your care and professionalism as an instructor.- Remain confident. Just like dogs (pardon the less than flattering comparison), students can smell fear. Remember that you are more qualified than they are and that Dave, Deborah, Robin, and Karin are here to back you up.- Use common sense. For example, don?t discuss students with their peers. Or, don?t encourage a problem, such as replying to a student?s ?suggestive? e-mail or responding quickly to any e-mail without considering the impact of the message. In other words, think about what you do BEFORE you do it.????]i8??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ????????5?\?4L???>?lnu???????Z[  ??? ? ?????????????????????????? ???0?^??`?0? ?0???^?0?`???0?^?0?? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ????? ?0??0?^?0?`?0? ???0?^??`?0? 1?h??/ ??=!?"?#??$??%? i8@??8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@???< Default Paragraph Font?????4L???>?lnu???????Z[  ??????????0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0???0??? ? ?  ? ????English DepartmentMC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Document1.asdEnglish Department6A:\First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).docEnglish DepartmentsC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).asdEnglish DepartmentsC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).asdEnglish Department6A:\First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).docEnglish DepartmentsC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).asdEnglish Department6A:\First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).docEnglish Department6A:\First Year GTA Practicum Presentation (9-22-03).docKarin Westman_C:\Documents and Settings\Karin Westman\My Documents\Practicum\Web docs\problemstudents.f03.doc?@???t???P@??Unknown????????????G??z ??Times New Roman5??Symbol3&? ?z ??Arial"????h??yF??yFGJ!??????r0d??2????First Year GTA PracticumEnglish DepartmentKarin Westman???????Oh??+'??0????????  $0 L Xdpx???First Year GTA Practicum0irsEnglish DepartmenttnglnglNormal Karin Westmanme2riMicrosoft Word 9.0t@F?#@`????@`????GJ????՜.??+,??0 hp???? ????? ??Kansas State University??
