  Case: Co-Teacher
I am in a classroom with 2 teachers because there are too many students. One teacher is the main teacher and one is the co-teacher. The student do not listen well to the co-teacher. If I were in a similar situation, what would be the best way to get students to listen to the co-teacher or me if I was the co-teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree that authority should be established on the first day, but sometimes this is just not possible. Suppose you started the school year without co-teacher and now you have one, then the rules have already been set. It is important to introduce the co-teacher as a teacher and explain that she is to be given the same respect as you. Make sure she is included in lesson planning and is an active member of the classroom, so the students see her as a teacher and not just another person in the classroom.

Comments: I agree. If you can establish a good relationship with your co-teacher and ask them to make sure this is done, that would be most effective in that situation.
