  Case: CT Internship
I am in my second internship with a ESE high school teacher. It has been about a month into my internship and he still has yet to involve me in the classroom. I have taught before at the elementary level and although I don't want to take over the class and I want him to feel comfortable I also want to help. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start off by trying to offer help. What can you do to help set up in the morning or prepare for the next lesson? Can you help pass out or collect papers. Express interest in assisting with a lesson. Let the teacher know that you are there to help in anyway. I would tell him that you were wondering if you might be able to teach a lesson with him viewing and ask him to offer feedback. This way you can apply the skills you have learned while he has a task to do so he is not just sitting around. Keep everything open and honest.

Comments: A situation cannot improve if nothing is said. It is very important to speak up and express concerns, ideas or anything. We cannot grow as educators if we are not given the opportunity to learn and grow.

Comments: I agree I think you should definitely help out in any way you can to in order to let the teacher know you want to become more involved in teaching the class. As you stated being open and forthcoming is key. You are not in any way saying to be pushy towards the teacher in allowing you to take over, rather it's about being direct.
