## 11 Things

### Say it proud. Make sure both names are on the door 1

Make sure both names are on the door and classroom website.

### Switch it up.

Rotate co-teaching arrangements, and often. Switch on and off, leading lessons and supporting.

### Communicate collectively.

Refer to the classroom as both of yours and talk about your shared space and joint teaching duties.

### Schedule conferences

Problem-solve, critically reflect, and make changes to their classroom on an ongoing basis to provide the best inclusive education!

### Do the behind-the-scenes work together.

Both of you plan, design, and work on lessons, and work together to universally design lesson plans from the beginning.

### Get the message out.

Let the office know that any announcements should be addressed to both of you. Take turns leading the class to the next activity with transitions. Both of you walk students to schoolwide events or to other classes.

### Check the language you use unknowingly

Use the phrases our classroom, we created, and ours instead of my classroom, my class, and that is mine.
