  Case: Too much negativity
In my first internship, I barely saw any examples of positive reinforcement used in the classroom. The school's behavior management plan was highly ineffective, as the students did not care about the rewards that were offered. The only action that was taken in my classroom was yelling, turning off the lights, and making the students go to their seats and put their heads down. I know that my CT was fed up with the school, but I don't think she was making a huge effort to make her classroom a positive environment. How could you step up and make a change in such a negative school environment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would create your own management plan and see how it works out. Also if you know your CT is fed up with the school and is taking it out on the kids my first step would be to talk to my supervisor and maybe even the administration depending on what my supervisor said.
