What should I do about a teacher who is erratic and cannot focus.?
I am the behavior specialist at the school and yesterday because the aide was absent in our 4/5 supported behavior class, I filled in. The woman verbally threatened two kids, had no structure, had two serious fights between students because of not keeping to her schedule. One time she lined them up to take them outside, but forgot about it when she was distracted, so the kids started to roughhouse and of course got into a fight.
She kept screaming all day long and insulted the kids in every way possible and by the end of the day, as soon as they got outside to go to the bus ramp, two kids started to fight and a third joined in. One kid was just whaling on another kids jaw, so I had to take him down and finally we got them under control.
I have gone to my principal, my program coordinator, the director of ESE and they keep shining me on. The room has never been observed by either the principal or the AP, despite my reports and the fights the kids are having.
This woman and I have been friends in the past and it is hard to report her. What would you do? I feel complete despair.

Report her.
By not reporting her because of a past friendship you will end up bringing unhappiness to more students every passing day. If what you say is accurate, then her behavior is completely unacceptable. She has no right to be a teacher. I know it may be hard, but I think you should report her

What you sound obviously sounds bad, but I don't see what the teacher is doing wrong that you have to report. Sure she may have threatened the kids to follow directions, sometimes that is necessary although "threatened" is a strong word to use. If she was going to beat the kid up, that's bad, but if she is going to give him a referral, that's one way of disciplining a kid.
Of course she will scream all day long, those kids sound like a handful. The insulted part may need to be addressed, but that is most likely due to the lady venting her anger... so she might need to address that.
