  Case: No classroom management
I am currently in an internship in a second grade class. The teacher does not have any classroom management plans set in place. There are five students that disrupt the class daily. One student throws his chair, desk, and taunts the teacher along with other students. The other four students taunt each other about being "tough guys" and nearly get into fist fights daily. The teacher's reaction to all of these events is to ignore them. She acts as if she doesn't hear or see what is going on. The teacher ignores the situations until they get to the point that chairs are flying and the students are yelling. When things get to this point, she calls administrators. The calls to administrators are almost a daily occurrence too. When I am in the room I try to correct minor behaviors before they escalate, but I do not have the support from their teacher, so what can I do differently? The situations are making every day I go to the school miserable and I know the other students are miserable too.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would approach the CT with ideas and bring it to their attention what you have observed. If it is truly an unsafe learning environment and effecting your internship experience, I would communicate that to your supervisor.

Comments: This is a good solution but i think that there is more that you could do, also if the environment is unsafe then you should tell the principal because it is not safe that the teacher is letting it get that far.

Comments: I agree with this solution. It is not good to be in a classroom where you can potentially get in a tough situation. You also need someone to model what you should be doing as a future teacher!
