How lucky you are to hear Anne present and such rich nuggets she shared! Co-teaching is indeed like a marriage, an arranged one often times. My favorite response above was the fine wine reference. I like to think that our relationships with our teaching partners develops over time into a seamless one in which we anticipate one another’s thoughts and ideas. When this happens it can be so magical for the kids and us.

Anne’s comments about our ethical responsibility to speaking out loud and proud for our students reminded me of times in the past when I had to. It saddens me deeply when teachers forget that although their students may be younger than they are, they have the right to be treated fairly and with respect. Although it can make things very stressful and uncomfortable, it is indeed our ethical and professional responsibility to speak up for our them.
Thank-you for sharing these excellent resources, Elizabeth.
