Case: A Very Disliked Teacher
I have a teacher at my school that is from Afghanistan. He has a very strong accent, has never taught in a classroom before and sometimes seems insulted by women giving him advice. There are several students that give him a hard time because they have a strong military background in their family.Two of my students have lost family members in the war overseas. The parents do like him and the students do not like him. He does not have a a warm and welcoming personality and he is very strict. This is his first year teaching and it is going disastrous. I do not like what I over hear the students saying about him. Administration has not stepped in to assist on either side because I think they are nervous about his reaction. If you were a fellow teacher, would you try to discuss this with the teacher or just let the situation play itself out.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would come in and discuss with the teacher that you are here as support. Maybe find students you have in common, and strike up conversation that way. Ask him about his country, how this school year is going, etc. I guess schmooze him!! I would then just continue to find common ground. Ask him if there are any concerns he has, etc. People like to talk about themselves. I am sure he is very intimidated by the culture, as well as trying to establish his role with students. He is a first year teacher, and gaining control is going to be his biggest battle. In the middle east, men control everything. If he is used to being in control, but lacks the control here... how do you think that feels? He is probably struggling, but too ashamed to admit it as it isn't in his culture to do so. |
