I'd suggest having a private conversation asking why he conducts his class that way. It's not interrogating or instigating if you come across as curious with a probing question.

Start with a conversation where they are able to explain themselves and you can express your concerns. If things don't change after that I would go to someone above you and ask for them to join the conversation as well.

Hey, I think that you should have a conversation with the teacher and just let them know how you feel. I dont think that you should attack this teacher but maybe its something you can work on together to improve.

I would bring up the issue of student behavior to the teacher and see if you guys can work together to find solutions to the issues. I would make sure to state what I think should be done about the issue and take some form of notes about what was discussed/agreed to at this meeting. If the teacher continues their nonchalant behavior, I would try to kindly remind them of the new guidelines we set, and talk to a higher figure if this behavior continues.

If the prior solutions don't work, talk to your university supervisor and/or school administration. Your job as an intern is to observe. It comes to a point where if you see concerns, talk to higher ups about it.

It seems that as co-teachers, the idea would be that you both have equal input into the teaching style and environment of the students. Their seniority simply does not matter in that case. Speak to your co-teacher and if they don't seem to understand their role as a co-teacher, speak to your administration, or bring them along in a conversation with the co-teacher. If they keep doing it afterwards, keep contacting administration. (My petty answer would be that as a co-teacher, I have as much say in the environment, so I would start putting up posters I believe that would help students behavior correct itself.

I suggest having a conversation with the teacher and expressing your concerns. There needs to be collaboration between the both of you since you are co- teaching and they need to understand that. If after the conversation no changes are seen, I would recommend speaking to your principal about the situation.

I would talk to the co teacher and see if you can make a comprised rules list for students to follow. That way everyone is on the same page about discipline.

The best solution has to be discussing the situation with the fellow teacher. If you two are not clear you will both have difficulty with instruction.

I would approach them professionally. You have the same right to be there as them. If they do not listen to your suggestions, maybe getting administration involved would be worth it.

I would recommend first sitting down and talking with this teacher. Address that while you understand they have many years of experience and you feel privileged to learn from them, you also recently finished coursework and have fresh perspectives you want to try in the classroom. I would try to brainstorm some new ideas to try that both of you can get excited about, having both parties take ownership will be critical to making sure that no one feels undermined or left out!

I understand the hesitation because the other teacher has seniority, but you have to be able to have control of the students. I would bring up your concerns without pointing the finger. Have it seemed like you are asking for advice. Hopefully the other teacher will get the point.
