In my current internship, I am working in an SVE classroom at an ESE center. There is one classroom teacher, and she has two assistants. There is only one female student in the classroom. She is very bright, but has a VERY slow processing time. The aids have absolutely no patience for her. They constantly get annoyed and reprimand her for small things, but do not treat any of the other students like this. I have made it my personal goal to have a high tolerance level for her, and praise her as often as I can. My CT does not act this way toward her, but does not do anything about the attitudes of her assistants. I think she is afraid of disrupting the peace in the classroom. Does anyone have any suggestions for how this should be solved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to the other aids. The teacher should let them know what her overall goal for this student was. Ultimately the teacher is in charge over her classroom and the aids need to comply to what she wants. Also, if you are praising this student and being patient with her you will have some kind of evidence that the student is doing well or some kind of improvement to show them that it works.

Comments: Addressing the aids and involving the teacher will be the best approach in this situation. They may not even notice their behavior, so simply pointing it out in a non-confrontational manner could help.

Comments: I like this solution to the problem and think it would really help to settle the situation. The teacher is in charge and I think letting the aids know what her overall goal for this student is would be a great place to start and encouraging them to help the students achieve that goal and look at the goal ultimately and how they can help instead of being impatient with the teacher.

Comments: I agree with this solution. All teachers and aids need to be on the same page when working together in a classroom to ensure the best interest of the students.

Comments: It addresses the issue with the current situation and also will provide a helpful situation for the student as well. It is not the child's fault for not understanding the material right away. It is the teachers job to help every student if possible and to never give up on them. By the assistants showing the student that they do not have time for them, it lowers their self esteem which is not helping them succeed.
