Narrative:

During IOE with experienced student, we were at 10000 ft, 320 KTS assigned. I acknowledged an ATC clearance to 8000 ft. I then was distraction by cockpit duties, but noticed first officer had descended below 10000 ft, but was still at 320 KTS. I pointed it out to him and he immediately corrected the situation. This was a high workload environment and I should not have started those duties until I saw he had slowed before starting descent. Contributing factor was 5TH day of 5 day trip. 6 continuous IOE's in a row.
