Teaching Troubled and Troubling Students

This workshop—typically offered as a series of sessions or as a course—uses teachers’ actual classroom experiences and written accounts of other teachers’ experiences to explore the interaction between troubled students and their teachers. Workshops focus on finding better ways to teach students who are troubled – that is, have emotional problems that impact adjustment to school and learning – and those who are troubling – that is, have behaviors that teachers find disturbing and work against students’ progress. Through case study presentations, focused observations, and discussion of articles, teachers acquire strategies for teaching challenging students and skills in giving and receiving collegial support.
