  Case: Making jokes
In my internship, my CT allows call outs and sarcasm in the classroom. I am the most sarcastic person in the world, but sometimes I feel as though she can not get through a lesson because she is allowing these students to call out and make jokes every 5 seconds. How can I show her this is a distraction for most students? Also, how will I be able to stop this when I go to teach in her classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When you go to teach in her classroom, I would establish a set of expectations with the students. Establish your own flow of how you want the school day to go. I understand that if there is already a routine in place, the students will be better off sticking to that routine. But implementing behavioral expectations is understandable since you are a different teacher. The changes don't need to be drastic, but they can alter the atmosphere of the room slightly. Such as, "If I am talking, you are silent." You won't be talking the entire day, and students will have plenty of time to speak with their peers. I am not sure of the rest of the conditions of your classroom, but this is how I would approach it if possible.

Comments: Pointing out that the switch in teachers means slightly different rules is acceptable and I believe presenting it that way wouldn't offend the teacher.

Comments: I completely agree with this solution. It is extremely important that the students know that you are a teacher and deserve just as much respect as their own teacher. Establishing a set of rules, consequences, and expectations before teaching is a great strategy to use to ensure that the students see you and respect you as a teacher.

Comments: This is the best solution. It lets the students know you're the one in charge and they need to be respectful of the fact that you have to teach them a lesson within a certain time frame. It also gives them time to make their jokes, but not when you're speaking.
