  Case: Too much negativity
In my first internship, I barely saw any examples of positive reinforcement used in the classroom. The school's behavior management plan was highly ineffective, as the students did not care about the rewards that were offered. The only action that was taken in my classroom was yelling, turning off the lights, and making the students go to their seats and put their heads down. I know that my CT was fed up with the school, but I don't think she was making a huge effort to make her classroom a positive environment. How could you step up and make a change in such a negative school environment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask the CT if I could do an experiment. I would tell her that my college wanted to me try some positive reinforcement in a classroom. I would just talk to her about them first and get her input and let her know that you truly wanted to hear what she thought. I would then let her know the day that you were going to try it out with the students and see what she thought.

Comments: This would be an amazing idea. An experiment would help show the different things that could be done to help the situations going on within the classroom and that could help spread to the entire school.

Comments: This solution is the most helpful in this situation. It is not stepping on anyone's toes, and it also invites the teacher to provide their own feedback on how to help.
