The school's behavior management plan was highly ineffective, as the students did not care about the rewards that were offered. The only action that was taken in my classroom was yelling, turning off the lights, and making the students go to their seats and put their heads down. I know that my CT was fed up with the school, but I don't think she was making a huge effort to make her classroom a positive environment. How could you step up and make a change in such a negative school environment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think in this situation, as an intern, you could try to implement your own idea if it is okay with the teacher. If the teacher's behavior continues it might be a good idea to speak with an administrator. It could cause problems if you directly confront the teacher, instead let an administrator know and them maybe they could come and observe the class and investigate.
