Classroom Management and Professional Boundaries

About the Session

This session centers on creating a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment rooted in ethical boundaries. Topics include maintaining authority while preserving rapport, responding to disruptive or sensitive student behaviors, establishing consent-based classroom norms, and utilizing trauma-aware practices. Participants will consider how classroom boundaries model professional conduct expected in clinical practice. Practical tools and sample policies will help educators strengthen consistency, uphold standards, and protect both students and faculty within hands-on, emotionally intimate learning contexts.
