• What are examples of proactive and reactive strategies for approaching different classroom situations?
• What strategies are helpful for establishing and maintaining authority in the classroom?
• In what ways do you successfully navigate the difference between private and public discourse both inside and outside of the classroom?
• What resources are available to faculty and teaching assistants when addressing power dynamics in the classroom?
