This is my first experience with co-teaching and I really think I'd like it in a different set up. I have four 8th grade Social Studies classes with an average of 28 students a class, 11 of each are special needs. My co-teacher is actually a TA with no Special Education certification. She seems determined to grade papers, and walk the kids to the cafeteria. That's it. My administrators are aware of the problem but my observations include "not utilizing my co- teacher." I've tried to no avail. Everytime I ask her to do something, she has an excuse why she can't. She walks out of class for 20 and 30 minutes at a time without saying a word. I could go on and on......I guess my question is How do you co-teach with a resistant teacher assistant?

How is she a "co-teacher" if she has no credential? You're not "co-teaching." You've got an aide in your room who's not doing her job. Who does HER observations, when she's out roaming the countryside instead of helping the kids?
