New Coteacher

In the upcoming school year I will be teaching my first inclusion class. My special education coteacher and I will be teaching a 5th grade language arts class. I am excited about the class, but also alittle nervous. I read some of the comments about special education teachers feeling like paraprofessionals. I value my coteachers experience and want her to share equally in the class. This will be her first experience as well, so I guess we have alot learn.

When I started out, I found it helpful to observe other coteaching teams in actions. It takes awhile to establish a good working relationship. Good luck.
