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!) I believe that maybe your CT does not know what to do about these issues and is maybe giving you that answer in reflection of that. Talk to your supervisor and find out different strategies you can use in order to talk to your CT about this problem. You can even try to implement a classroom management plan just on those few students.
