You're walking past a classroom during a transition and notice one child slightly behind the group while the teacher continues moving forward. What do you do in that exact moment, and what do you do after? A teacher runs a generally good classroom, but you notice they skip a small but important step (like a transition routine) a few times throughout the day. How would you handle that over the next few days? You step into a classroom where the teacher looks overwhelmed and the children are starting to lose structure. How do you decide whether to step in or let the teacher handle it? If you correct someone on something and they improve while you're watching but go back to old habits later, how would you handle that?
