  Case: Annoying Aid
In my current internship, I am working in a ESE Center school. I have 8 middle school students in a self-contained SVE classroom. The classroom is run very well, and there are very few behavior issues for the types of students that we have. If students get out of control, we have a radio that we use to call the behavior specialists. One of the aids will call for behavior at the drop of a hat, and does not even try to address little problems herself. My CT gets frustrated, and so do I, but she does not do anything about it. How could you handle this situation without causing problems between the teachers in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a meeting with the ad. They may not know that you and the other teacher feel this way and how is she supposed to know that the teachers does not like it if she never says anything. Yes, this meeting could get awkward but just let this ad know that you appreciate her and what she does for the classroom. I would, point out all of the positive things first and then go into this problem. I would also end on a positive so that she does not feel like you are attaching her.

Comments: I like the idea of pointing out the positives first and then discussing personal feelings about the main issue. The aid probably doesn't realize that what she's doing is unnecessary and she will most likely be understanding.

Comments: I agree with this. Letting the aid know how the other adults in the room feel is important and might solve the problem with just letting the aid know.
