  Case: Classroom Management SOS
I am currently interning in a high school ESE room, the students are at levels between 2nd grade and 4th grade. The teacher that I am with has a hard time managing the behaviors of the lower level students. She has left me in the room at one point and one of the students threw his backpack at the fan that is in the room. I told her about the incident when she got back to the room, the student even came up and told her because he was proud of himself. She just told him to take his seat, was there something else to be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree that as an intern it is your responsibility and part of the course to embed yourself into the classroom which means teaching, attending meetings and correcting classroom behaviors. I would make notes of what is occurring before the student begins to throw things or get upset. Recognizing the antecedent will help you develop a plan to redirect or calm the student before the upsetting behavior begins. Once you have your data you can implement an effective behavior modification plan with your CT to correct the students behavior. This plan should include a lot of positive reinforcement for correct or on task behavior. Also it is important to get support and back up from your CT, since the students will most likely be more apt to accept consequences from her than from an intern. If none of this works i would speak with your university supervisor.
