I would have to teach this class like I would teach a class without a co-teacher because the co-teacher did not attempt to learn anything. All the co-teacher would do is pull out students when it was time to test. I did not want to cause a problem with this co-teacher by going to an administrator, but something must be done. What can I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have a very similar problem. My co-teacher not only doesn't try to understand the content, but will attempt to teach and will teach the math incorrectly. When this happens, I sit down with my co-teacher and explain the issue. I am a fairly new teacher and my co-teacher has been teaching a lot longer than I have, which can be intimidating! But the co-teacher will respect you more if you talk with them first. I also had a talk with the person over all of SPED, to inform them what was happening. They told me that if this continued that they would talk with someone higher up. It is a disservice to the students when a teacher does not understand the content.
