  Case: Student Teacher
I recently welcomed a student teacher into my classroom whom I am, as well as the students are, really enjoying. I have noticed however that the students like to play sides and ask the student teacher can they do certain things that they know they are not allowed to do; sharpen pencils in the middle of the day or retrieve something out of their backpacks after the morning announcements. I thought about giving the student teacher my classroom management plan to have him/her overlook so we can be on one accord, but have not gotten around to it. I have however mentioned to her some of the rules/ procedures in the classroom as well as addressed this manner with the students. I do not want to correct the student teacher in front of the students as I would like for them to respect and treat the student teacher as equally as myself. How do you all suggest I should handle this manner?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is not a bad thing to correct the student teacher in the classroom. They are there to learn. If they are not familiar with your classroom management, they will only continue to go against it. I would ask the student teacher to stay after school to go over the plan together and give expectations on how to respond to students in the future.
