  Case: Co-teacher problems
Ms. Lockard's Pre-K classroom is a co-teaching classroom. There is a special education teacher, regular education teacher, and a regular education para-professional in the classroom. The accommodations that are in place for the students are only being followed by the regular education teacher and the regular education para professional. The teacher has documented this and discussed the issue with administration. The administrators say they are going to follow up with the special education teacher but has not done so. The special education students are not receiving the assistance that they are required to present by law. What should the regular education do to ensure that all students in the classroom receive what they need in order to be successful?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a meeting with all of the co-teachers and review the accommodations that are in place and suggest that they ask questions if needed or make recommendations. If this doesn't help, I would contact the lead special education teacher or reach our to administration again. The students come first, so it's important for all of the teachers to be on the same page about their needs and accommodations.
