Case: What co-teaching?
Mary's Sp.Ed. co-teacher never makes modifications for her language arts students when that period comes to her. Mary has been to the Sp.Ed. co-teacher to specifically ask for help for making modifications for her special needs students. When emailing the Sp.Ed. co-teacher the lesson plan for the upcoming week, Mary specifically asked the co-teacher what days she would like to teach. Instead of helping Mary out with the "co-teaching" and modifications, the Sp.Ed. co-teacher only points out mistakes that Mary has made on the lesson plan. When the co-teacher has been in Mary's room, she offers no help with the teaching for instruction and only helps one particular group during differentiated group activities. Mary has been to her administrator and the Sp.Ed. director about the Sp.Ed. co-teacher, and they suggested meeting with the co-teacher on a weekly basis to set up who would teach what and when. Since the Sp.Ed. co-teacher has not made any efforts to help Mary, what suggestions do you offer Mary to try to get the two teachers on the same page in sharing teaching responsibilities?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would also ask for an observation. It may be good to have an outside opinion of what is actually happening in the classroom when co-teaching is suppose to occur. Subsequent to the observation, the parties can meet to discuss both the strengths and areas of improvement in the classroom. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do something along these lines. Still trying to reach out to the other teacher to improved the teaching shows that you are still interested in working as a team. Also having a third party observe the situation could address the problems you and possibly the Sp.Ed are having. |

Comments: I agree with this solution. If Mary has already tried reaching out to the co-teacher and she still is not offering help, then it is time to get others involved in order to correct the problem. |
