  Case: Too Many Adults In the Room
One day a week for about 40 minutes I have 6 adults in the classroom. It is an ESE setting and my students are distracted enough without all of the extra bodies in the room. All of the adults are circulating the room. It is too much for my students to deal with. I don't know how to approach this.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is likely that the adults are present because they are told to be there by the "higher ups." Thus, if you believe it is an issue for your students, the first step I would take is to talk to your ESE departmenent head. If they cannot directly fix the problem for you, then they should be able to contact someone (an AP) who can. These adults were most likely placed there for the well-being of the students and their learning. However, if you, as the classroom teacher in the room, sees that having 6 is not necessary then I would think your opinion would be valued.

Comments: If this large amount of adults in the room is becoming more of a distraction than actually helping the student, the classroom teachers should talk with a superior and get the problem fixed. The person who usually knows what is best for a student is the teacher who is with that student, or group of students, year round.

Comments: I feel like this solution is the most effective. As they mentioned, the many adults present are most likely required to be there. The ebst bet would be to talk to the Head of ESE, and perhaps work out a rotating schedule of some sort.

Comments: I agree. Voice your thoughts to someone that might be able to do something about the situation. It may be this way because no one realizes there's a problem with it.

Comments: I agree. If those adults are being placed there, it is likely with the intention to help. If it is not helping, the department needs to know it is actually a problem.

Comments: This is a great solution. Being the teacher of the classroom, your opinion is definitely valued and if you see that having that many teachers come into your classroom is distracting your students, it is important that you bring it to the attention of administration.
