She's in the adjoining classroom to yours, and each time you look around, you can hear her classroom getting out of control. You have spoken to her a few times about the noise level and how it sometimes distracts your students from learning, but you don't see a difference. You find yourself taking over her class in order to get the students quiet for you to be able to effectively teach your class. It's becoming tiring and frustrating. What do you do next? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am currently in this situation and it is hard. At the end of the day, I am exhausted. I have spoken with my team mate about how to use different management strategies and how positive reinforcement works. Also, as a team we have talked following the rules and not making changing because a student is cute or cries. The students should know the guidelines and the limits.
