Is this my problem?

I was nominated for an award last month and I had the BIGGEST smile on my face when I saw the things my admin wrote about me. Excellent classroom management, excellent relationships with students, and a third year teacher with veteran skills. Needless to say, I work my butt off every day. Which brings me to my issue… Another teacher in my grade does not have the same relationships and classroom management skills I have even though she’s been teaching for way longer. Since she’s started working with us, every single one of her behavioral issues is brought to my door. She teaches my students one class and I teach her students one class. It doesn’t matter if my kids are working quietly and I’m getting to sit down for a second, if my kids are up at my desk getting help, if I’m actively teaching a lesson… and it doesn’t matter if it’s my Homeroom or hers. It also doesn’t matter what the offense is… talking back/attitude, girl drama, name calling, elopement, it’s all brought right to my classroom door. And, typically, I’ve stepped in and dealt with it. But yesterday, I was having an off day. Went up to the nurse and found out my blood pressure was 144/102. I felt like crap. But we had about an hour left of school so I put my big girl pants on and dealt with it. We are all packing up for the day when a behavior begins to escalate. She comes to my door and I immediately say, “I can’t help right now. I have my own students to deal with.” And she said “Oh, yeah, I know,” and walked away. I did send one of my students to get a member of admin (literally two doors down) for her. And she also has access to a phone and walkie talkie for those purposes as well. Is this the right approach? Or is being the person who addresses all the behaviors my job? Classroom management and relationships are apart of the career and I don’t feel the need to be her right hand disciplinarian or her on-call problem solver… submitted by /u/Top-Garage-9329 [link] [comments]
