Managing Disruptive Conduct in Learning Spaces

Managing Disruptive Conduct in Learning Spaces

The university encourages all instructors to strive for free and open communication within their classrooms. However, for student learning to be most effective, classrooms must maintain a civil environment, free from intimidation, disruption, violence, and harassment.

Review the 10.5 Policy for Addressing Disruptive Conduct in the Learning Environment on the ISU Faculty Handbook website.

When disruptive behavior takes place, many Iowa State University faculty members recommend addressing it immediately. Their advice: remain calm, assess the situation, listen to student concerns. We recommend that you provide a clear, firm response consistent with the responses you’ve given other students. The information found in this resource will help you prepare for these moments before they occur.
