  Case: Classroom Management SOS
I am currently interning in a high school ESE room, the students are at levels between 2nd grade and 4th grade. The teacher that I am with has a hard time managing the behaviors of the lower level students. She has left me in the room at one point and one of the students threw his backpack at the fan that is in the room. I told her about the incident when she got back to the room, the student even came up and told her because he was proud of himself. She just told him to take his seat, was there something else to be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As an intern, you should be having many experiences. If you think there need to be changes and you have ideas to share, then talk to your CT about what you have been noticing and things that you would like to try with the students. I think that you should be given the opportunity to try your own things in your internship classrooms so you can have strategies in your own toolbox that you can try with your future classes. Usually, CTs are understanding and want to work with you to give you positive experiences and opportunities to practice. Hopefully, this CT would be too.
