Co-Teaching Contract

Sometimes we are lucky enough to be placed in a co-teaching situation where we know the other teacher well.  However, when we are not it can be difficult to have the necessary conversation with our co-teacher on how to divide the work.  A good starting point is to complete the attached contract.  Contracts are a good way to plan how things are going to run on a day to day basis in the classroom, they still have to be flexible.  Maybe one week one of you has outside issues that prevent you from completing your “half” of the work, you have to know the other person will pick up the slack.  No one wants to work with a person who won’t pitch in when necessary because the contract doesn’t state it is one of their duties.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I2s8y1lZv_S0sGWKMprnR3k-DWpa-u6e9axXrB1Zwwg/edit
