  Case: Less Fortunate Teammate
You have a colleague that is does not have a strength when it comes to classroom management. She's in the adjoining classroom to yours, and each time you look around, you can hear her classroom getting out of control. You have spoken to her a few times about the noise level and how it sometimes distracts your students from learning, but you don't see a difference. You find yourself taking over her class in order to get the students quiet for you to be able to effectively teach your class. It's becoming tiring and frustrating. What do you do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That has put you in a difficult situation. One of the teachers in my grade sounds a lot like this teacher. I am sure she has become very overwhelmed with what she is dealing with. Maybe, at the end of the day, you could pull her aside and talk to her. Ask her if everything is okay. Sometimes, we as teachers, need another teacher to talk and confide in. Maybe, with the class she has this year, she is very overwhelmed and too afraid to ask for her. When you take over her class, you may be hurting more than helping because her students may not take her as a joke.

Comments: The need to lean on each and talk with each other is so true in this profession. It could be that this teacher never learned Classroom Management skills well so she doesn't quite know how to control them. But, it really could be the students she has in the class that year that are not all good. She could even be going through something that no one else knows about because she wanted to keep it a secret.
