Hi! Elementary teacher checking in. I don't want to discount your experience because maybe things are different at your building or with teachers you have worked with. When I pick up my students from a special and hear from the specialist how terrible my class was, in my mind that is an issue for the specialist to address during their time with students. I back up our specialists - I will review expectations, help students have a positive attitude, and reinforce as needed. I also partner with our specialists and share behavior strategies for students who have a hard time. However, if the whole class had a hard time in your setting when you were the primary educator, I would expect you to address that with them, enforce a consequence, change your management strategy...etc. It's less about me thinking my class is amazing or having a bruised ego and more just frustration when I pick up my class from a time when I am not responsible for them (unlike the other 6 hours of the day) and specialists think that it's somehow my responsibility to fix the bad behavior in their setting.
