E47: Dealing with Disruptive Class Members (Listener Question)

"We have some people who are derailing the class, who are long winded and they contradict others. They take over the class, in a way, and disrupt the flow of what she's trying to teach, which is frustrating for every teacher."

Have you ever been in that position? We all have. It's tough. So how do we deal with it? How do we create a healthy classroom culture where each member has enough trust in the others that they can share what might be intimate feelings?

Kevin and Julie answer a question that was submitted and discuss ways to help turn around a classroom culture from a bit toxic and long-winded to containing psychological safety so all can participate.
