A few years ago, Georgia schools initiated the TAPP program-The Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program. Basically this program allows for certification of individuals who hold a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited institute, who did not complete teacher education degree programs and want to transition to the teaching profession.
As a health teacher without a permanent classroom, I was always assigned a classroom according to a fellow teacher's planning period. Sometimes the teachers chose to remain in the classroom during my teaching time while others chose to leave.
During one fall semester, I was assigned the classroom of a TAPP teacher. This teacher usually chose to remain in the classroom and oddly enough, she would listen to my lectures/discussions. Being a seasoned teacher, this really didn't bother me. I just assumed she was gaining classroom management skills, etc. That is until one day, she began RAISING HER HAND and asking questions as if she were one of my students!!
