  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!)
I have never co-taught before, but I do know that communication is a big part of it. If both teachers are not on the same page, it can be extremely difficult. It could very well be a misunderstanding and fixed with speaking. If that gets you nowhere, then maybe try going to administration.
