I've heard team teaching described as a marriage (when it works it's great and when it doesn't it's a disaster) and when the sped teacher is just assigned to a class without any previous discussion it kind of feels like an arranged marriage with not much input from the bride (nor groom)<br /><br />My recommendations. <br />1)Keep communications open (I always say to a new co-teacher “When I offend you (and I do mean when, not if) tell me. I will apologize and then we can figure out how to not get to that point again<br />2)Plan- plan-plan. Sped teachers are certified teachers not overpaid paraprofessionals. I will run and make copies for you if you are stuck, I will take Ms. Disruptive out when things get tense, but I am experienced teacher and I want to teach- if you make time for me during your preparations I will plan out my role in the instruction for the week. Have high expectations and I will try my best to meet them.<br />3)Check out http://www.marilynfriend.com/ Marilyn Friend is the co- teaching guru and she has lots of useful information.Teacherfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331618972303387940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272754788423915000.post-19132399825310945032010-08-23T09:23:29.836-06:002010-08-23T09:23:29.836-06:00I went to a workshop once where the presenter sugg...I went to a workshop once where the presenter suggested the line, "I find your use of that expression personally offensive."<br /><br /><br />although I do not remember much about the workshop- I can report that using the line is very effective for me. It does generate some questions about my sexuality, which I do not answer (although many students have met my husband and kids). <br /><br />Sometimes when a student uses the expression- I hear from the back "you are personally offending Ms. Teacherfish." I think its about honesty- and taking ownership for my feelings- actually I don't know why it works- but it really does.<br /><br />We just started the two week counted down to start of school.

I have a friend who, whenever she hears the word used, immediately asks, "Um, I'm sorry how does [inanimate object or action] have a sexual preference/identity? Pretty sure it can't."<br /><br />On a separate note, I actually wrote up a personal journal entry about that particular episode (different blog) because I didn't think they were totally fair to Finn's character. You said Kurt used to have a crush on Finn but I beg to differ; I think it's pretty obvious he still does. On another separate note, I think it's funny how they've kind of forgotten about Mr. Shue as a Spanish teacher (except when kids come to see him in his "office"...wish I had one of those! lol). I wish they'd do more with the fact that he's the Spanish teacher teaching Glee club. Where's the band/chorus teacher and how does s/he feel about this??R2P2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00736765844197785820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272754788423915000.post-41820763154985078542010-07-08T19:47:18.313-06:002010-07-08T19:47:18.313-06:00This scene totally moved me to tears.
