Strengthening Our Co-Teaching Relationships by Caring for Ourselves and Each Other
If you’re reading this blog, you know how hard dual language teachers work and how demanding the job can be. During the pandemic, with the shifts to remote and hybrid instruction, it’s gotten even harder - a LOT harder.
Coordinating Classroom Management
As any classroom teacher knows, strong classroom management is the bedrock of good instruction. One of the most essential aspects of classroom management is managing transition routines between activities.
Planning for Co-Planning
As a dual language tandem teacher, you know that you have to coordinate instruction across the two program languages to meet the goals of the program, but how and when do you do that? It seems like there’s never even enough time for planning what you’re doing in your own classroom, and taking additional time to coordinate with your partner teacher can feel daunting.
