  Case: EIP teacher
I have a EIP teacher who is supposed to service two of my students in math. Every day she comes in late and then leaves my class early. The students should have that service for 1 hour yet they only get 20 minutes at the most. When I try to talk to her about this issue, she tells me that my class is so low in numbers (18 students) that I am also considered an EIP teacher and that it is fine. She has been teaching at my school for 20 years and I am a first year teacher yet I do not agree with her. What should I do? I don't want to rock the boat but my students are not receiving the services that they need.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would request a meeting with the EIP teacher. The discussion should include the legal responsibility of both teachers in providing the required services for the students and also the students deserve the best services possible. I would also suggest planning together and incorporate teacher's roles in the plan. If the teacher continues to neglect her role, then you are within your rights to request a meeting with the teacher and a supervisor.
