It has been created to fit into a one hour presentation slot, but can be easily cut as needed. This is created for a Zoom audience in mind; participation may include Zoom polls or answering questions in chat.

     

• Supporting Student in Distress (Faculty/Staff Edition) (60 minutes)
  • This session will allow participants to better understand our SJSU Red Folder resources and Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT).  We will discuss characteristics and examples of distressed and disturbing behavior to look for, techniques to address at your level, how to consult and document incidents so that we can collaborate as a campus to reduce threats and better connect individuals to resources. This is created for a Zoom audience in mind; participation may include Zoom polls or answering questions in chat.

     

• Beyond Classroom Management:  Knowing When to Assist and Consult with Others (Faculty)
  • Faculty attending this session will work with campus case managers reviewing realistic scenarios involving students in distress in the classroom. Building upon knowledge of campus resources, faculty will practice how & when to reach out for assistance. Come work through practice scenarios, ask questions, and refine your skills on assisting students who may be experiencing moments of distress. Originally developed and presented in coordination with Center for Faculty Development.
