  Case: Too much negativity
In my first internship, I barely saw any examples of positive reinforcement used in the classroom. 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!)
With it being an Internship it is important to not step on any toes. I would ask the CT if I could try somethings that I have learned in my classes with the class, most teachers would go for that. I would make sure to use lots of positivity with the students because they are not use to it, that might make the students more willing to listen.

Comments: I would do this in this situation. I think it a great way to incorporate a fresh take on addressing classroom behavior for a teacher who is burnt out.
