  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!)
I would talk to the co-teacher first. Part of being a professional is having the ability to be an adult and talk about something when it is not working and trying ti fix it. I would approach the co-teacher with your concerns and hear their input then ask what you can do in order to fix the problem. Maybe something is going on behind the scenes you're not aware of that the teacher didn't feel comfortable with talking about? But you talking to them professionally and taking a personal interest may help.
