Dr. Ellison’s presentation on Civility in and outside the Classroom addressed issues concerning classroom management, appropriate classroom behavior, and what students and instructors can do to provide a civil atmosphere in the classroom. Dr. Ellison defined incivility as “any action that interferes with a harmonious and a cooperative learning atmosphere in the classroom.” She utilized a Power Point to highlight ways in which students perform incivility, including but not limited to annoyances, attacks on instructors psyche, “classroom terrorism,” and threats of violence. Dr. Ellison also provided the audience with an overview of the scholarship done on incivility in the classroom and went over research findings. During the course of the presentation, Dr. Ellison took questions and then as a group we discussed possible ways of handling uncivil behaviors. Dr. Ellison made suggestions on how we can maintain our authority while still being able to give students an active role in their own learning.  The presentation received a great turnout and it seemed that everyone was finding the session valuable and enjoyable. Instructors were given the opportunity to discuss behavioral issues they encountered with their students and Dr. Ellison provided advice. She mentioned how important it is to have students contact the Dean of Students if they needed to miss classes for emergencies. She reassured us that as instructors we have a support system to help us deal with problems of incivility.
