Case: Classroom assistant disrupts during lesson
I am in my second internship in an ESE classroom in middle school. My CT frequently leaves the classroom when I am teaching a lesson to go to the office, or to sit at her desk in another room to grade papers. During my lesson the classroom assistant will overly correct behaviors, and try to co-teach the lesson. I have never had any trouble with classroom management or teaching a lesson effectively, so I am not sure why she feels like she needs to act that way. I have spoken to my CT about it and she has spoken to the assistant several times, but she continues to do it the minute my CT leaves. I have also asked her to stop as well with no results. What should I do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have a talk with her and try to compromise on ways to teach the class. Discuss with her the appropriate and inappropriate times to address children. If she wants to be more involved with the class try to find ways that both of you can teach the class together. If you are not able to work out any issues together then you might want to consider getting a new assistant. |

| Comments: I agree that it is important to find middle ground where the assistant knows when is appropriate and when is not appropriate to step in and correct behaviors of the students. I do not believe that it is easy to just get a new assistant so finding a way to communicate with the individual and having them respect your position as an intern teacher is important. |

Comments: Honestly, I can't agree with trying to work together with the classroom helper. Their role is exactly what it sounds like: To help the classroom. If what they are doing is not working and only causing problems, you need to address that first.
You're also in this classroom to learn to teach. You shouldn't be co-teaching right this moment, ESPECIALLY with a classroom helper that may or may not have experience in teaching themselves. |
