  Case: Trying to help
At the school I am observing, I was put with a new teacher but I don't want to be rude and ask for another teacher who has been teaching for longer then she has. What can I say to not make her feel like she's not really not my type?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You can observe her for a few days and write down notes. You can write down what you liked about her teaching and what you think you would not do, or something you would improve. You can ask if you can visit other classes to see different teaching styles and strategies to get multiple ideas of what you would like to implement in your classroom. Each teacher has something excellent about them and you want to see many different types of teaching styles and how they all help students learn. You can say that it is important for you to see differences in teaching so you can have more knowledge and improve upon your own teaching. That way, it does not sound harsh and it sounds like you want to improve.

Comments: This is excellent feedback. I have been in many classes where I learned more what NOT to do than anything else. It is important to take all of these situations into account while you are observing so that you know what best fits your teaching style.

Comments: I agree sometimes people are just not the right for us but we should gain what we could from them. Even notes about things that you didn't like will help you to discover your own teaching style.
