Human Factors; Procedure
CFI was distracted by student during initial climbing.  My student entered the wrong traffic pattern.  When I recognized it; my airplane was in left downwind leg already.  It resulted the traffic alert with other traffic which was 300 feet below my airplane.  ATC corrected my situation and I elected to stay above 1;900 MSL and go-around in this approach in order to avoid traffic.
An instructor reports that his student entered an incorrect downwind which resulted in an airborne conflict with other traffic. The pilot went around to avoid the traffic.
