Cornell University's "Getting Started with Managing Classroom Conflict" guide is a rich resource detailing how to navigate contentious situations in a classroom. One tip on that guide is to practice SOAR: Stop, Observe, Assess, and React. That guide does not elaborate on what implementing the SOAR technique look like in a classroom; here are my thoughts on what an educator might to do practice SOAR during a contentious classroom moment at MSU.Stop - Before speaking, pause to consider your physical, emotional, and intellectual position in the classroom. Consider the diversity of viewpoints among the students. Rarely will any classroom situation require immediate action. Taking even a brief moment to slow down helps to convey a sense of calm and purpose in any actions you do take.Observe - Take in the entirety of the classroom environment, including the posture and attentiveness of all the students. Make a mental note of the physical environment, should you need to usher students aside or guide students out of the space. Quickly determine where the agitation is in the room; sometimes students not directly involved in a conflict might react in unexpected ways. Use this moment of observation to evaluate what students you need to address directly.Assess - Determine if a response is merited in the immediate classroom setting. If possible diffuse the situation and address it with individuals outside of the classroom at a later time. Your goal in moments of conflict should not be to win an argument. Seek to understand and to be calm, modeling for students what civil discourse looks like. React - If immediate action is needed, state clearly that threats, violence, and harmful actions will not be tolerated.

Contact MSU DPPS if there are signs of imminent harm, violent threats, or weapons, or ask a responsible bystander to do so:

Emergencies: Call or Text 9-1-1
Non-Emergencies: Call 517-355-2221


If students are in a physical altercation with each other, use a strong, loud voice to say STOP. Often that verbal cue can be enough to cause beligerents to realise they need to redirect their emotions. Do not enter into an altercation yourself. Work to keep the situation from escalating. Calm heated emotions with a respectful tone.
Consider these sentence starters from "The Art of Coaching Teams: Building Resilient Communities that Transform Schools." 
Ideally you will reach a point of control and calm when you can indicate that opinions around contentious topics matter, but that the class also must go on.
Consider giving students an opportunity to write about their opinions or feelings about a conflict. If you are comforatble doing so, provide students a platform to share with the class the contents of that writing, encouraging them to seek to understand each other without expecting that everyone will agree.
Also if you are comfortable doing so, offer your office hours as a time where civil conversation about the matter can continue later on. 

CIRCLE’s second interdisciplinary teaching & learning workshop, held on February 14th, focused on collaborative teaching and co-teaching. We showcased 2 panelists experienced in co-teaching and collaborative teaching: Rachel Barnard  (Lyman Briggs Chemistry and ULA Director) and Stephen Thomas (Assistant Dean of STEM Teaching and Learning, NatSci Digital Curriculum Coordinator, and Associate Director for CISGS). This workshop focused on collaborative teaching and co-teaching within interdisciplinary courses and other learning experiences. Our goal was for both new and seasoned interdisciplinary educators to move their own practices forward, emphasizing classroom and co-teaching practices.
Attendees discussed effective interdisciplinary co-teaching, strategies to address potential challenges, and the potential benefits of interdisciplinary courses for instructors and students. Participants had the opportunity to reflect on their own interdisciplinary teaching philosophies and work on individualized action plans.
You can watch Stephen Thomas' panel contribution video below, in which he describes some of his experiences plannign and teaching interdisciplinary courses. You can also access CIRCLE's interdisciplinary co-teaching resources at this link. Our resources include:

a tip sheet of co-teaching tips
a handout of course and campus resources to support intersidciplinary co-teaching
a personalizable planning worksheet that you can print and complete

If you have any questions about interdisciplinary course design, you can contact Ellie Louson, CIRCLE's associate director of interdisciplinary teaching & learning (lousonel@msu.edu), or our panelists Rachel Barnard (rbarnard@msu.edu) and Stephen Thomas (sthomas@msu.edu).

Title: Exploring the effects of the flipped classroom approach in an undergraduate lab math coursePresenters: Jun Fu (Neighborhood Student Success Collaborative); Angela Wholehan (Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics Program);  Julie Libarkin (Associate Dean for STEM Education Research and Innovation)Format: Paper PresentationDate: May 11th, 2023Time: 1:30pm - 2:30pmClick here to viewDescription:The flipped classroom approach has been applied as an instructional strategy to enhance active learning and critical thinking – even in basic science courses. During this past year, the participants of a MSU faculty learning community has collaboratively designed and implemented an action research study to examine the effects of a flipped classroom approach on students' integration and application of content knowledge, sense of belonging, and critical thinking skills in an undergraduate lab math course. This presentation will share the findings of this work and implications on the assessment of student learning in the STEM context.

Epistemic Justice Fellows: Incorporating Students’ Home and Community Knowledge in Teaching and Learning 
 
To instructors in the arts, humanities, and natural sciences and STEM fields: 
We invite faculty (of any appointment type), academic specialists who teach, and graduate students who teach to apply for the interdisciplinary Epistemic Justice Fellowship for this Spring 2025.   
 
This Fellowship is designed to support instructors who want to add or change an assignment, activity, or module/unit in a course to incorporate students’ home and community knowledge, such as students’ home languages, student knowledge about their communities, or home and community knowledge about the natural world. Incorporating and valuing student experiences as assets can positively impact student learning about subject matter as well as enhance student engagement, enjoyment, and belonging. 
 
Fellows will receive $500 at the conclusion of the fellowship. Fellows are expected to:

Develop a new or change an existing activity/assignment/module to incorporate students’ home or community knowledge, and present this work to the cohort
Provide a collegial community for the rest of the cohort who will also be working on their own courses
Attend three Fellow meetings (most in person) from 10AM-12PM on the following Tuesdays:

February 25: Kickoff - foundational concepts and identifying changes to your courses
March 25: Midpoint meeting - check in and group discussion on fellows’ projects, followed by mini-workshop on “Facilitating Teaching Workshops”
April 22: Presentations of fellows’ change or addition to their courses 

Attend the lecture/workshop series connected to this topic, consisting of 3 public talks, some in person and some virtual, throughout the semester (dates TBA - but exceptions/alternatives can be made if those dates are not feasible for a fellow)  
Commit to offering a workshop or mentorship opportunity in the future for colleagues in your own field related to valuing home and community knowledge  

Please apply here by February 19:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N3H76YYEDzlYuN1jZKp3EVy6K7mbo9AivP-142eyd9I 
 
Please note that if you are not sure if your course would be make sense for this fellowship, you are very welcome to contact the organizers at mollelle@msu.edu and troutma1@msu.edu to ask; for example, if you wanted to allow an existing assignment on any topic to be written in the student’s home language for a first draft, that could apply to any subject matter in any course with any writing. 
 
This Fellowship and lecture series are graciously supported by:
Creating Inclusive Excellence Grant from Institutional Diversity and Inclusion
