  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!)
Since you have not stated what exactly the deviant behaviors are, I cannot give any specific solutions. Overall, I can say that it is inappropriate to say that you look young and therefore students do not respect you. All I can suggest is that you come to both students and coworkers with exact situations and issues to address them directly. Simply saying you aren't being respected or someone isn't listening to you is not enough to really address the issue.

Comments: By saying that they are not being respected or being listened to is a specific problem. Especially with an intern teacher this problem is enough to address the issue.

Comments: I dont like this because regardless of more information, the lack of respect is due to the age, we can assume. I think going to a supervisor is what should happen.
