  Case: Annoying Aid
In my current internship, I am working in a ESE Center school. I have 8 middle school students in a self-contained SVE classroom. The classroom is run very well, and there are very few behavior issues for the types of students that we have. If students get out of control, we have a radio that we use to call the behavior specialists. One of the aids will call for behavior at the drop of a hat, and does not even try to address little problems herself. My CT gets frustrated, and so do I, but she does not do anything about it. How could you handle this situation without causing problems between the teachers in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask the behavior specialist if we could have a meeting to address the protocol as to when to call for a behavior issue. I would ask that the meeting be very informal so that feelings won't get hurt. This way the aid won't feel like she is directly attacked and everyone will be on the same page as to when to call for assistance.

Comments: If I was in this situation I would do the same thing. Asking the behavior specialist to have a meeting to go over the reasons and circumstances in which she should be called would be very helpful. It would spare the ad's feelings and help everyone who is involved.
