- Pablo: We are here to discuss building relationships with your students that communicates your role as the Professor. Fade into the question box Pablo: How many of you, in the audience, have had to work with challenging students in the past?

- Pablo: Today's topics will allow time for us to talk about the importance of establishing and maintaining a professional relationship in the classroom and with students.
- Communication
- Fairness, equality, and impartiality
- Pablo: Gloria, you're young, good looking, smart. How what do you do to maintain a leadership role with your students? Scan in to Gloria Gloria: Thank you Pablo. One of the reasons I am here with you today is because harassment, bullying, and unprofessional behavior is something I do not allow in my classroom. As a part of my classroom guidelines, I provide times and locations and contact numbers where I can be reached. This provides students with an opportunity to contact me and assigns an appropriate level of authority to my role as instructor and not a peer or equal.
- Communication
- Cultural linguistic sensitivity
- Discrimination is the unfair practice or treatment of an individual or group of persons based on a characteristic such as gender, disability, age, ethnic origin, sexuality, and/or religious belief and will not be tolerated.
- Gloria: It's important that you hold all of your students to the same level of conduct. Treat your students with fairness and demonstrate equal standards for all of your students. It is important that students know that the way that course work and grades are distributed uniformly to all students without impartiality or exception. Provide students with a schedule of your hours and a way that they can contact you at work, be that by email, office, or phone.
- Difficult Situations
- Scenario: A student comes to your office angry about the grade on their last assignment. The student uses extremely hostile language and makes threats to contact the dean. Stating that the directions were unclear and blames the grade on poor instruction. The student insists on being allowed to re-submit the assignment now that the instructions are better understood. How might you be able to handle this student?
- Pablo: Yes, I agree. Without creating clear expectations and holding students accountable for their work, students may feel that there is room to cut corners or buddy up to the professor. But how do you still create a classroom environment where students are able to ask questions and develop a clear understanding of content and assignments while still be connected to other students?
- Gloria: Communication is certainly a sensitive topic Pablo. I'd like you to watch this short video to explain what practices I employ in order to create a collaborative classroom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwfA8N6bc38
- Gloria: Look, for me, one of the issues that plagues classrooms today is the use of discriminatory language or culturally insensitive language. It's important that all students feel that their identity and culture is valued - not just by me - but by their peer group as well. I provide students with guidelines for what constitutes culturally sensitive language so that we all have a basic understanding of what is and is not acceptable public expression. I encourage all students to review the university policy on religious practice and discrimination: http://policies.vpfa.fsu.edu/policies-and-procedures/faculty-staff/equal-opportunity-and-compliance-eoc#I3

- Boundaries
- Life outside the classroom
- Hey! Want to join me for coffee? I have a few questions about our class.
- Boundaries
- I'm really glad I got to see you at the coffee shop. I think you and I have a lot in common and I'd like to spend more time getting to know you, outside of class
- Gloria: Unwanted attention and disruptive behavior are both things that can really throw a class off topic and shifts the attention of learning to disciplining. It's important to know how to handle conduct without escalating the situation. If a situation becomes dangerous or the student becomes a threat, call FSU police at 850-644-1234
- Boundaries
- Alvin, I believe that your invitation is better meant for a student. Now if you have a question about school, then I will answer those as professionally as I can.
- Gloria: There are a variety of difficult situations and students that you may encounter in the classroom. Let's watch this video and discuss how to handle this difficult situations: https://youtu.be/pmVF23QXY10 If a situation becomes dangerous or the student becomes a threat, call FSU police at 850-644-1234
- Student support
- Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much
- Gloria: You are likely to run into your students outside of the classroom. It is important to know what type of interaction is appropriate. Determine your own comfort level and let the student know that it would be best if they attend your office hours or email you with questions.
- Summary
- Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much
- RESOURCES
- Gloria: Wow! Pretty honest and bold but it may also be pretty uncomfortable to hear this from a student. When a student's advances are unwelcome, it is considered harassment and should be reported to FSU's Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance (EOC).
- Campus Resources FSU Police: x41234 EEO: x46034 Student affairs: x45590 Dean of students: x42428
- Gloria: Providing your students with instructional support should not make you feel uncomfortable. Report any type of harassment to your department head and to the office of the EOC x46034 or send an email to hr@fsu.edu.
- Pablo: Thank you Gloria. Can you talk about students that have come to you with personal issues and how you handle those? Zoom to Gloria Gloria: What an important topic, and you're right to ask, but I am not sure that I can answer that question in a brief manner. On my end, I make sure that all of my students are aware of our office of Student Affairs: x4-5590. https://studentaffairs.fsu.edu/
- Pablo: Thank you Gloria, you talked about a lot of really important issues that instructors and TAs may encounter and we thank you for your time. Zoom to Gloria Gloria: Pablo, thank you. And a big welcome to our new and returning staff! It's going to be a great year!
- Pablo: Thanks for being with us today. I hope we've helped to provide you with ways to recognize, respond, and uphold standards of professionalism in your classroom. If you have any additional questions, I can be reached at pablo.morales@fsu.edu.
