  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 sit down with the Art teacher and speak on the issues that you have observed and even give advice.

Comments: This could put you in a worse situation because the teacher will see it as someone who is still learning is telling someone who went through the same process how to do things.

Comments: I do not think this is the best solution to the issue, this would come across as disrespectful since you would be the intern and the other an employed senior teacher. There would be better ways of discussing this and finding a solution.
