Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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 talk to the art teacher and try and explain to her that you want to help. You are in your internship so you are trying to learn all of the different things about the students and about school as you can. I would tell the art teacher that you are only there to help and learn and you are not there to step on any toes.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this is important. Make sure the art teacher understands that you are there to learn from them, not observe or override them. Rated On: October 12, 2020 6:51 pm Rated By: aVehaj
