the pararofessional went and got the principle

Nov 15, 2017

Today I ended my day not sure if I would be invited back to sub. I had an assignment for a teacher in the middle school, all my classes were for 8th grade social studies. Earlier in the day I had been warned of a few students, this is not unusual. I always try to assume the best from the reputation of students, and base my opinion on the student when we meet based on their behavior in classroom. Today, one of the students in question was in my 5th hour classroom and immediately started being disruptive. The first order of business was to read aloud, I ask the student to read the first paragraph (all the other students in the class were condoning the unruly behavior by giggling every time the student said something funny and disruptive). I continued to have the student read, and in turn actually created a more balanced classroom and the class had settled a little bit. We had moved on to the next task, but the student was still being intolerable. I spoke to them and had asked the rest of...See MoreToday I ended my day not sure if I would be invited back to sub.

I continued to have the student read, and in turn actually created a more balanced classroom and the class had settled a little bit. We had moved on to the next task, but the student was still being intolerable. I spoke to them and had asked the rest of the class not to follow up with condoning the behavior. There is a par in the room, who had not attempted to help or even speak to the student, just as I had maintained a level of order, and we were moving on again, the para leaps up and walks out of the room. I had a feeling I knew what she was doing. She went and got the principle. As a sub, yes you appreciate anytime the principle makes an appearance in your classroom, but you also know it makes you look like you can't handle the classroom. That is your job. The para didn't say anything prior to, I tried speakingto her when she came in and she brushed me off. So now I am feeling like I may not get called back to sub. I didn't ask her to go get the principle, nor do I feel like I could not handle the situation that had already been deescalated. Does this type of incident matter when getting a call back? has this happened to anyone else? Should I say something to the para bout what she did? I am new to that grade and she directly undermined my authority in the classroom, which can sometimes be difficult to establish as a sub to begin with.

Nickster143 So, what did the principle do or say when (s)he came into the room?
