About
Teaching Encounters DESCRIPTION Teaching Encounters is an instructional DVD for those new to teaching at the university level. It includes 10 scenarios than can be used as a dialogue-starter for how to handle situations unique to the university setting, especially those arising between student and instructor. Teaching Encounters dramatizes sample encounters and then asks questions related to the situation depicted. This allows the trainer to lead new instructors in a discussion of how to deal with the situation, what institutional policies apply to the situation and what institutional resources are available to help deal with the situation. The trainer can introduce any number of other possible instructor-student encounters and provide new instructors with viable resolutions. This training tool can prevent new instructors from the consequences related to mishandling of sensitive student-teacher situations.
