  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, too, have this dilemma. I am more soft spoken and thus, find that I have a more difficult time trying to command the room. However, I make sure that my CT calls me by "Mrs. Last Name" and I try to walk around the room as my CT is teaching and helping the students. Additionally, the CT has explained that in her absence I am the teacher. I think having the support of the CT is crucial.
