Today I had my first Co-teaching experience using the Team teaching method. I have co-taught before using parallel and accommodation methods, so it was a real pleasure to try out team teaching. It went really well. My cooperating teacher and I played really well off of each other and I think it enriched the experience for the students in the room. Students had two adults to reflect their thoughts and questions on, and had the chance to get two instructions/directions in two different styles to insure that they were getting things right.
My only issue I had, my tailbone was so painful. I had taken a bad fall down some icy stairs last week, and since then there has been a throbbing pain in my posterior no matter if I am sitting or standing or walking. It is enhanced when I am standing and walking on concrete (i.e. school floors). The throbbing pain often took my mind off my work, but I am proud of myself for maintaining through the lesson. I think I am so sore from the extended time I had standing yesterday teaching extra lessons throughout the day.
It is awkward moaning and grunting every time I stank or kneel while helping students.
