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!) Before talking to the student teacher, I would talk to the students in the class and reiterate that the rules are the rules, and if the you set a specific rule or procedure than that is what they should follow no matter what. If this does not help the situation, then I would privately talk to the student teacher and make sure that you both are on the same page. Also allow the student teacher to express how she feels and work together to understand each other.
