Co-teaching is like an arranged marriage!
As I do my observations of the co-teaching classrooms, you can tell there is a disconnect between the teachers. I have conferenced with the teams, gave feedback and suggestions, and suggested peer observations. The teachers are supposed to plan together, but that is not happening either. I have gone back to some of these same classrooms, and there is no change. How do I get teachers to change their mindset? Is there some good literature out there that compares marriage and co-teaching? I truly believe a lot of the resistance is due to the teachers not being held accountable. This is so frustrating and the students are getting the short end of the stick!

Can you clearly state your objectives to teachers and then hold them accountable for their actions?
