  Case: Coteaching
I have a colleague at a former school that is co-teaching with a new teacher this year. This "new" teacher has been teaching for years and has been know to stir up problems. My friend has called on many occasions complained that her co-teacher is not prepared for lessons and not effectively delivering instruction. She wants to talk with her principal about the issues, but does not want to cause trouble between her and her co-teacher. She has to work with this teacher for the rest of the school term. How can she solve this problem without causing tension between her and the co-teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would sit down with her and a coach to have a conversation. Perhaps you could tell your concerns to your coach first then devise a plan to talk with her about these problems. I teach with a co-teacher, and we work really well together. It really benefits everyone when the two of us are on the same page about everything.

Comments: It's tough when two teachers don't see eye to eye but need to work together anyway. It's important to have communication.
