  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 disappointing to hear that she would blame your age and not offer solutions. I would speak to your university supervisor regarding this issue and see if she offers any solutions. I would also try to identify the root of the problem with the students by talking to them. Are they defiant because they are bored or is something going on at home? Maybe they will vent to you and you can figure out solutions based on what they say. The students may be confused regarding an assignment, have home issues, or maybe they are not being challenged and want a different type of assignment.

Best of luck!
