Co-teaching Tip #1

 


 

    I love co-teaching and working in inclusion classes but this doesn't mean it's always been easy.  I've had the opportunity during these years to have co-teachers that love math, hate math, and some that were terrified of math.  Each co-teaching relationship was different.

    Over the years when people ask why I've had successful inclusion classrooms one reason is I respect my co-teacher.  My co-teacher may not love math but they love students.  My co-teacher may not want to teach a single whole group lesson but they may be great with small groups. It starts with respect and knowing that they have earned a teaching degree just like you.  

    Sadly, I've seen co-teacher be told to just sit in the back of the room, only worry about "your" students, or treated poorly.  In my experience, these classrooms didn't thrive like the other classrooms. A little respect goes a long way.
