Inclusion classes - aghhhh!!! My coteacher is driving me nuts (although not quite as bad as the first weeks of school). She has no humor, the kids think that she is mean and that she hates them. I still get to do ALL of the paperwork in regards to the sped students. But, she is doing the lesson planning for the inclusion class, but then again, I have no say in what activities she is doing with the students. If the students need a test read to them I get that job too. She doesn't like to share ideas or thoughts or concepts AT ALL. I have shared hand outs and activities with her, but I feel that she takes them grudgingly. How in the world can I connect with her? By the way, I have discovered that it is not just me that she treats this way. I have talked to my dept. chair about it, but so far nothing has come of it.

Ms. Adkins,
You know what, it's not your loss...it's hers. Students will recognize you as an important person in the classroom. I know for the fact that it is very AWFUL to work with someone who is close-minded but have things flow one day at a time. It's hard to train an old dog some new tricks. If your co-teacher have been horrible with co-teaching accept that fact. Don't let her ruin your day and don't even show that you're affected with her mistreatment.
Kidding aside, I think you should create an IEP for your co-teacher. lol!
