The class has 29 students and 2/3 of those students are the most consistent behavior issues in the ninth grade. At first, there was no support provided but administration worked it out so there could be a special education teacher in the room with her during 7th period. Unfortunately, the special ed teacher causes more disruptions than help. Administration has given very little attention to the situation since providing the extra classroom support. The regular education teacher is extremely frustrated and is considering leaving the teaching profession altogether. This regular education teacher's mentor has constantly tried encouraging her to keep pressing on and do the very best she can to make sure these students get the highest quality education possible. What can the regular education teacher do to resolve the issues with the special education teacher and turn the negative situation into a positive? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If talking to the special education teacher is not working, I would arrange a set up where she pulls small groups out of the classroom during seventh period. That way the students are still receiving the co-teaching support, but they are isolated from one another to keep disruptions to a minimum.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great solution.
