For instance, does she have a background in teaching with phonics, big books, can she make games for the classroom. Just getting to know her talents will help you make decisions. That's wonderful that you have a co-teacher.. I would have her make all the manipulatives that you never have time to make. You need to let her know that for the while, you will be responsible for lesson planning; however, in time, she will be picking up that responsibility. Think about when you were student teaching and picked up one course at a time. Eventually, you were teaching all subject areas. When I was a first grade instructor, I made educational games all year long. By my second year, it was a breeze, by the third; I felt like I was on vacation!! Debra >>> gubinorama@yahoo.com 05/25/05 12:14AM >>> Hi all, I am about to begin co-teaching with a much less-experienced teacher. She will be joining me in my very multi-level adult ESL class. I will be responsible for supervising her and bringing her up to speed. Does anyone have any feedback about: 1) resources for co-teaching 2) resources for teacher supervision 3) your own personal experiences or advice about having a teacher join you in your classroom. In particular, we will need to figure out how to share the burdens of lesson planning. What makes our situation interesting is that we are never sure which students will show up - we have only about a third of the students who are the same from the last week on any given night. Thanks. I look forward to your responses. Sandi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new Resources site http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/
