The visiting teacher suggesting how to handle the situation differently after class. In order to work toward the goal of each teacher improving their own skills, the teacher needs to receive feedback, support and ideas to be effective. Handling the classroom management work for another teacher during observation of the class can have a negative impact on the development of that goal.
