Have you tried Dr. Owen's podium rule? Where the students stop talking when the conductor is on the podium. I think that you are put in an awkward situation, and I am sorry for that. But what you can do now is show the students that you are here to work, and let them know that music is a priviledge and if they do not want to be there, then they can leave. I think that it is important to point out the students who are doing a good job and praise them. Does your cooperating teacher have some a system of consequences set up for misbehavior? If so, does she follow through with it?

This is a difficult situation to deal with. Does you cooperating teacher have a set of rules and consequences? If she does, is there some way that you could go over them with the students? In class Dr. Owen just discussed different teaching persona’s that tend to be able to maintain well disciplined classrooms. It may be a good idea to think about what these teaching personas are and adopt your own. You could be very strict, or find a way to achieve the students respect. Another thing you could do is approach the classroom teacher with your concern, so that you don’t step on any toes.
