  Case: Specials
As an intern I like to go with my class to their specials so I can see how other teachers work with them. The problem is that their art teacher has zero classroom management skills and the students go crazy in there. I have only stepped in one time when two students started physically fighting, but she got upset at me for interjecting. I talked to my CT about it and she sat in a few times after that, but she really needs that time for planning so she can't always be there. I haven't been back to art since then, but the student's tell me about everything that happens in art (they are little so they always share everything) and the teacher is still struggling. Should I talk to the art teacher and ask her if she would like me to come and help? I know she got upset at me when I interjected before, but she was really frustrated with the students at the time and I don't think she would have normally reacted that way.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start by communicating with the Art teacher about how she would like you to help. It may be helpful for the art teacher to know a little back ground about your teaching experience so that they know you are more about you and your experiences. I would also ask the teacher what their classroom management plan is so that you do not conflict with it but support their plan.

Comments: what a thoughtful idea, especially with making sure that the management plans do not contradict each other. Maybe even sharing some habits/behaviors of certain students and the teachers preferred methods on dealing with them would help the art teacher.

Comments: Whatever you do, make sure you always ask first. Don't ever intrude, especially when the teacher you're asking has been teaching this longer than you have.

Comments: This is a good start and may come off as less confrontational than just interjecting, especially since the art teacher will become more aware of your knowledge and experience. This is the most productive solution.
