  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!)
I would have the students express their opinions on why they do not respect the teacher and ask them what the co teacher could do to gain their trust again. I would definitely have a talk with my co-teacher and let her know the situation. Maybe she needs to change her ways too.

Comments: I like this solution and believe it will be effective. I wouldn't ask what their solutions will be because it is placing blame on the co-teacher.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. This is a smart way to handle this situation by talking to the co teacher about being on the same page.
