The document discusses best and worst experiences with team teaching based on responses from teachers. The best experiences involved both teachers being knowledgeable and having good communication. The worst involved one teacher not participating and being disrespectful. Ideas for discussion before team teaching include teaching styles, roles, responsibilities and class rules. The co-teacher should circulate, teach lessons, help all students and participate in lessons. Important class rules include respect, being on time and doing work. The best times to communicate are during prep time, before/after school and lunch. Experiences to avoid include one teacher going behind the other's back or acting disrespectfully in front of students. Meetings should discuss giving special education teachers advance notice and maintaining effective teams
