  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 used to be a co-teacher, so I know the struggles that can come with co-teaching. My co-teacher and I would each take turns lead teaching in whole group or teaching together. This allowed the students to see that we were both equal. Therefore, when we got to small group, the students respected both of us and saw both of us as their teachers.
