  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!)
If you have spoken to the head of the department and they have decided that it is not possible to spread the adults out throughout the day, then you could give them jobs to do. They could be in charge of any tasks that you may need help with, do not have time for or simply cannot do because it requires leaving the classroom. Also, you could find your students with the highest needs and have an adult assigned to each student to personally help them through instructions and assignments or other tasks.

Comments: I agree, if they have to be there, keep them busy. This will benefit you, and maybe the children will not be so distracted if the adults are busy.
