  Case: How to best teach students social-emotional awareness
Currently, I am observing a fourth-grade classroom. I was informed that, although the year started well, the student's behavior has recently become incredibly disruptive. After the first week, I observed the students constantly interrupting the teacher, engaging in verbal and sometimes physical altercations, powering off peers' laptops, crawling on the floor, etc. For the past week, we have concentrated on de-escalation skills, verbally working through a problem to create a practical solution, and four kinds of conflict: disagreement, mean moment, rude moment, and bullying. The students have been doing an excellent job of holding their peers accountable but often seem to forget to apply the skills to them as well. I know that it will become more natural as they continue to practice these skills, and I wondered if there were any ways I could help the students hold themselves accountable without overstepping my bounds.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately, I do not think there is. It is a shame that it is falling on you to make sure that they kids are behaving in an appropriate manner. However, as an adult in the room I would assume that you would be responsible for their well-being as well as the other teacher. Good luck. I think you should step in when necessary.
