Next year I will be co-teaching a Pre-Algebra class at the Junior High. I have never co-taught a class, and have never taught a class that was this much below grade level. I have typically taught math to students at grade-level, not accelerated, but not significantly below grade level either. I will be doing a lot of curriculum planning this summer. This is a new class, and will require strategies to engage and teach students that really struggle with math. I am going to have to get really creative.
I am very excited about the teacher I am co-teaching with. She is a Special Education teacher that I have known for a couple of years and have a lot of respect for. I think I will able to learn new techniques and strategies from her to take back to my classes that I teach alone. I have colleagues that have had rough experiences co-teaching, but I think that the person I will be working with is going to make this a great experience. I am really looking forward to co-teaching.
