  Case: Being Viewed as the Teacher
I am interning in a middle school class, grades 6-7. My CT has procedures in place for a classroom management plan and for the most part it seems to be effective. The issue I am experiencing, even when I implement her procedures and expectations, is that the students don’t view me as the “teacher figure.” This is especially true in times where I am left alone with the students. I find that my CT and I have different demeanors - and I think that might play a role in how the students view us. I’m more soft spoken and don’t have a loud protected voice. How do I get the students to view me as another one of their teachers while still maintaining my softer, kinder demeanor? I don’t want to come across too harsh or unnatural sounding if I need to be more stern with the kids.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have felt the same way because I am young I also look younger than I am and I am interning in high school! I still struggle with this but I realized that I have to step in more on the disciplining or getting a hold of the class when they are getting off task. I always try to talk to them and create a relationship with the students but when they are doing something wrong or distracting they know that they are supposed to listen to me and take direction from me.
