Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

I think it’s best to ensure teachers know their roles. When I’m in the classroom I understand my expertise is accommodations and making sure all students needs are being met. My co-teacher understands she is the content expert. I don’t step on her toes for how she wants to teach the content and she doesn’t step on mine when I need to provide intervention or modify tests. It sounds simple but I have had some co-teachers in the past who saw me as a power struggle by trying to implement certain things. I’m solely in the room to help the students achieve, not to create some power imbalance.

Thank you! This is great. My biggest goal is for us to have a great working relationship first and foremost.

Prioritize finding a way to mesh your teaching methods and the classroom teachers. It'll be helpful for you and the students, and will make planning a lot easier. It take a little compromise on both sides, but you got this!

Been there before. Happened to me at the school I worked at for 5 years and is definitely part of the reason I left. Really all depends on the attitude of your partner, and what your caseload and schedule look like. If your caseload isn't bad, and the teacher actually gives a hoot, it shouldn't be that bad.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.

Organization is critical for classroom management. Try assembling units into Google Slides with links to ppts, activities, etc. Color code them according to the rainbow: Unit 1 red, Unit 2 orange etc. It takes a minute at first but the payoff is a one click upload for next year! PS I use the same color code system with felt tip pens to grade my classes: 1st hr red, 2nd hr orange etc.

Parents want to send their children back to school not only for educational purposes but also for social interactions.

No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.
