Use “Our” not “My”
|
One group of students is not “yours” and the other “theirs”. When you refer to the classroom, be sure to use this type of shared language.
|
|
Avoid venting
|
Do your best to keep from gossiping about your co-teacher with other staff members. Whatever frustrations you have need to be brought up in a respectful way with your co-teacher. Gossiping or venting to others does nothing to actually help the situation.
|
|
Model for students
|
Know that your students pay attention to the interactions of you and your co-teacher more than you realize. If you have different opinions on how to do something, use the situation as a learning experience. Model for your students how to respectfully work together to come up with a solution.
|
|
Talk about the uncomfortable subjects
|
Communication is key. If you have an idea or problem with a way something is being done in the classroom, speak up. If you don’t, it will begin to fester, and you will end up holding grudges toward them.
|
|
Ask for help
|
If you and your co-teacher are still struggling to see eye-to-eye and it has begun to affect the learning going on in your classroom, ask to meet with your director. They can act as a counselor to get you both on the same page.
