  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!)
The first step would be to talk to the co-teacher. I would discuss the lessons for the week, explain what I have planned and ask what the co-teacher has planned to add to the lessons. Maybe collaborative planning can help with the lessons. I would invite a co-worker I respect to come and observe the class and get feedback on the instructional delivery of the lessons.
