As a new teacher this year, I would want someone to come up to me in private and just tell me. I would welcome any advice that another teacher has. It is hard enough as new teacher to figure everything else out. You could guide and give examples of how it should be handled. Then, I would check in on that teacher a few days later and see how things are going.

All new teachers have mentors assigned to them and in this case the mentor should be made aware of the situation occurring in the classroom. Mr. Roberts can either unobtrusively ask the new teacher how things are going in the classroom and if the problem of disrespect is shared, he can then suggest that the new teacher contact his/her mentor for guidance. If the new teacher does not mention the problem, Mr. Roberts could use gentle probing comments such as mentioning that when he began teaching one of his concerns was in classroom management that may open the conversation towards that topic. Another suggestion is for Mr. Roberts to speak with administration about the situation in a helpful manner and with no negativity so that they can perhaps visit the class (walk through only) to apprise the situation and provide guidance if needed.

Something I would do is create a classroom environment. Create a positive and safe environment where the students don't question their judgments and trust each other. In order to not lose time in lessons, do these quick community activities at the beginning of class for just 5 or 8 minutes.

As a new teacher the the first thing that needs to happen is the teacher needs to set the tone and the classroom expectations. Students will do what you allow them to do. In regards to Mr. Roberts he needs to simply approach the teacher when he is alone and start a conversation. Ask the new teacher if he is having any issues or what is one thing he would like to change about his current practice. With some probing Ms. Roberts can bring the issue up and go from there. Suggestions Mr. Roberts can provide to the new teacher include: setting aside time for students to do teambuilding and respect activities and the suggestions he has for reprimanding.

I would have a firm classroom behavior strategy in place. I would treat all the students the same and follow through. If you let one action slip, the students will think they can walk all over you. It is also important to teach small "life lessons" and social behavior skills within your lessons. This will help with some of the unwanted behaviors.

Something he could do is speak to the teacher in private and explain what he knows.

There's nothing wrong with kindly offering friendship, help and advice. Remember it's for the kids.

One of the best approaches to take in this situation would be to have a private conversation with the teacher and to inform the teacher about how socio-economic status can impact students' learning. The experienced teacher can share some strategies that are useful when working with students that are poor.

Being a new teaching having some guidance is always nice. I would just talk to the teacher and say hey I have noticed that this works great in my classroom just wanted to give you a tip.

I think the best way to try to help Mr. Roberts is to ask him if he would like some advice or pointers on gaining respect from his students. I assume that anyone would be willing to accept advice if they are struggling with their work, but it is always respectful to ask since he might not be open to suggestions. If he declines any advice, then you must leave it at that and hopefully once he gets to know you better he will come back to ask for help on his own time. Some advice that I would give Mr. Roberts is to start doing some community and trust building activities with his students. If he is teaching elementary, a great way to start off each day is with a Morning Meeting. Morning meetings are short introductions to the day that open up a welcoming space for students to get in the right mindset for school and participate in activities to get to know one another and you as a teacher. This is harder to do in middle and high school since the classes change more frequently, but finding 5 minutes at the start of class to do a quick stretch or meditation with older students can work just as well. Another important way to gain students' trust and respect is through getting to know them and their cultures. Finding activities that allow students to incorporate their families and cultures into the classroom lets them know that you as a teacher care about and want to get to know them as a person; that they are not just another name on a roster. Students who come from low socioeconomic households may feel very misunderstood by educators and immediately assume that they are judged by those residing outside of their communities. It is essential that teachers in these schools let their students know that the students come first and that their voices and opinions matter. Using active listening is a great way to establish this healthy communication between teachers and students.

I would talk to the new teacher privately and explain it to him, maybe offering examples on how to go about this. From what I have seen, sometimes seeing things from a different perspective is hard until someone points it out.

The new teacher should have a mentor assigned to them. If I were Mr. Robert's I would observe and then speak to the new teacher in private at lunch, or the end of the day. You never want to correct a teacher in front of the students.

Students from poverty do not automatically exhibit disrespectful tendencies. This is a bias that should be left behind.

I would speak to the new teacher in private, and let them know in a nice way of how better to deal with the disrespect so that he can get positive results.

I will suggest to talk to the new teacher. I will ask him/her if he has any concern regarding the students behaviors and/or need advise. Depending on the new teacher responses I will say what I have learned from these students in the many years working at the school.

Something I would do is create a classroom environment. Create a positive and safe environment where the students don't question their judgments and trust each other. In order to not lose time in lessons, do these quick community activities at the beginning of class for just 5 or 8 minutes.

Before new teachers are allowed to be in class. They should be reevaluated in the condition and environment they may not expect. It's best to see how the new teacher reacts in terms of time, and only consider action when education isn't prevalent.

Model the teacher behavior that he wants the other teacher to display.
