Ruth and Claire discuss Challenging Student Interactions. When students are stressed about being behind with classwork, Claire finds it helpful to work together with them to develop a plan to get back on track. Ruth finds that asking ‘are you ok?’ can work to defuse confrontational student interactions. Claire is working on managing her own mindset when students are confrontational and not taking it personally: perhaps the student is simply having a bad day. Ruth is working on not being afraid of angry students.
