  Case: Deviant Behaviors
Currently I am interning in a high school where I provide assistance to ESE students in the general education classroom setting and teach them in two learning strategies classes. The students are great in the general education setting, but not so great in the learning strategies classes. I have quite a few students who are very deviant with me when it comes to listening during instructional time and independent work time. I confronted my CT about the problems I am having with these students that chose not to listen to me. However, all she says to me is that because I am young I appear to be more of a peer than a teacher to them. The problems have continued to persist and my CT still does not seem to want to help me communicate to my students further about respecting me as their teacher too.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is unfair that your CT blames your appearance as to why your students will not listen, as oppose to help you grab their attention. I would try to be more stern with the students by creating a short list of rules and consequences that will be followed through independent work time. If a student breaks one of these rules, you must enforce the consequence so they students realize you are a teacher and not a peer.

The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: I believe it is important to enforce rules for the students because this will show the students that you are a teacher and part of the adults who teach them. The CT needs to understand and accept that interns are students who are learning how to become teachers and should be a resource for the intern.

Comments: This is a good suggestion, if I where in this situation I would do this. By having those rules set in place and the students understand them, it will help them view you more as a teacher and not a peer, but it will also help with classroom management.

Comments: This solution in my opinion would be the best way to get the students to listen to you. If you set classroom rules and consequences and actually follow through with them, the students will be more likely to listen once they get punished for breaking a rule.
