Topic 7 DQ 2
Co-teaching can be challenging in an inclusive classroom. Discuss strategies co-teachers can
use to maintain a united partnership, even when they disagree. Explain why it is important
that disagreements not be evident to students and parents. In replies to peers, support or refute
the ideas presented and justify your response.
Something teachers could do in order to have a united partnership is knowing each other and be
able to understand each other. It is important to talk to each other and have good communication.
That is a big no matter what you are doing, have good communication in order to talk through
each other’s differences, and be willing to hear each other’s opinions. Also, it is important that
both teachers respect each other. If the students can see that the teachers do not like each other,
they chose a side and not respect the other teacher. The same thing about communication, if the
students do not see that coming from the teachers, why should they do it? I believe that coteachers understand each other to maintain a unified partnership.
