Faculty in higher education and undergraduate teacher education students differ in their perceptions of appropriate and professional dispositions in and out of the classroom. To gain an understanding of how to adequately address disruptive behaviors, a discussion between faculty and students to address the differences in perceptions should occur. The purpose of this interactive presentation is to facilitate focus group discussions among faculty in higher education and undergraduate students.
