  Case: Co-Teacher Rapport with Students
I am used to working with co-teachers and sharing the responsibilities of the classroom. Usually my co-taught classes run smoothly and I have no problems with students respecting the co-teacher. This year, however, I have a co-teacher who has apparently already established a bad rapport with many of the students from prior years or semesters. I treat her with respect, acknowledge her commentary in class, and encourage students to go to her with questions when I am occupied elsewhere. It still seems like a battle everyday to get some of these students to come around and show her the same respect they show me. I don't know how to successfully address this situation.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Perhaps you could ask the students their opinions and solutions in written form. This would give the students an opportunity to voice their concerns and be an active part of the solution rather than the problem. This would also give you insight into their prospective.
