  Case: Lack of Knowledge by Co-Teacher
I have had the unfortunate experience where I had a co-teacher that did not understand and did not attempt to understand the content that I was teaching. 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!)
Talk to the co-teacher first asking if she is knowledgeable in this subject area. Ask her if she can do more teaching of the lessons, since I was teaching most of the initially. Try to work it out with her first before going to the administration.

Comments: You definitely want to have a conversation with the co-teacher, however you do not want to come off too aggressive. Maybe asking her if you can assist her in any way maybe the proper conversation to have.
