  Case: Challenges with Co - Teacher
One of my co-teachers is totally averse to the concept of planning and sharing her space. She does not want to plan lessons and is not open to delegating any action items with regards to resources and anchor charts. I am very apprehensive about my walkthroughs as my supervisor will not be able to observe any teaching that I will be doing. Please advise if I should escalate this to my supervisor.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Absolutely! I am going on my third year with a co-teacher. I admit that it does take some getting used to because the teacher feels like he or she is relinquishing control. On the other hand, a regular education teacher is not qualified/trained in adequate ways to reach students with special needs the same way a SPED teacher may be. We did have this situation with another teacher and co-teacher last year and because I taught the same subject, I was able to help the co-teacher know what was going on (for the most part) in the other class he would be attending. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore because he scored poorly on an observation. The principal then established specific meeting times, two sets of lesson plans, and other ideas to force the two people to work together.
