  Case: Student Teacher
I recently welcomed a student teacher into my classroom whom I am, as well as the students are, really enjoying. I have noticed however that the students like to play sides and ask the student teacher can they do certain things that they know they are not allowed to do; sharpen pencils in the middle of the day or retrieve something out of their backpacks after the morning announcements. I thought about giving the student teacher my classroom management plan to have him/her overlook so we can be on one accord, but have not gotten around to it. I have however mentioned to her some of the rules/ procedures in the classroom as well as addressed this manner with the students. I do not want to correct the student teacher in front of the students as I would like for them to respect and treat the student teacher as equally as myself. How do you all suggest I should handle this manner?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Student teachers need to know the real problems that happen in a classroom. Definitely talk to her seriously about it. I would mainly talk to the students as well though. You can do this in front of the student teacher. Your conversation could be about asking someone else if you can do something when you know another adult will say no. This is what children do with their parents as well. Talk to the kids about how it is disrespectful to the teacher and the student teacher because they are putting her in an awkward position. I had this situation before and when I told the kids those things I also added that (the student teacher) would never go against the classroom rules because she knows how important they are. This way the student teacher is not embarrassed but it is also a way to let her know your expectations.
Once you have talked to her and the students if it still keeps happening, go to her supervisor.

Comments: Great solution with a real world connection to parents as well as putting both teachers in an awkward position. I will definitely use this scenario when discussing this manner with the students.

Comments: Conflict in teaching styles are definitely bound to occur with two teachers in a classroom. The only solution is to try to communicate the classroom behavior plan and expectations to the student teacher.
