  2. Two weeks down… • How is it going with your classes? • With your co-instructor? • On a scale of 1-10, how would you say your experience with your co-instructor is going so far? • Why?

  3. Expectations vs. Reality Expectations of Co-Instructor Relationship Reality of Co-Instructor Relationship What have you gotten out of your partnership with your co-instructor so far? What has your partnership been like so far? • When you were in training class, what were some things you wanted to get out of your partnership with your co-instructor? • How did you think your partnership would be like?

  4. Weekly Meetings • Why are these so important? • Discuss how last week’s class went • Go over how the next class should go • Talk about any problems you all may be having as a pair • Divide grading responsibilities • Build a relationship with each other!

  5. Every great relationship has it’s issues… • Almost every peer leader runs into some sort of problem or concern with their co-instructor throughout their relationship • Can be little or big! • Addressing these problems EARLY is a key to finding a solution • Make sure that you are getting the most out of your experience by finding solutions to problems that might arise.

  6. …But what can we do about it? • How can you tactfully approach your co-instructor when you do have an issue??? • Anonymously write down on a half sheet of paper… • A problem you have encountered with your co-instructor • A problem you foresee having with your co-instructor • A problem that could happen with your co-instructor • Something else that you struggle to talk about with your co-instructor • Let’s try to solve a few of them together!

  7. Building a relationship to last! • Don’t be afraid to talk with your co-instructor about things that are not class related, but keep it professional • Co-Instructors are generally very involved and connected on campus! Use their resources and connections to your advantage! • If you find a co-instructor that your really enjoy, try to teach with them again or at least keep in touch with them!

  8. Letters of Recommendation • Co-Instructors could potentially make great recommenders! • They have seen how you interact with your peers and how you interact with faculty (themselves and others) • Many leadership skills are displayed as a peer leader, and your co-instructor takes note • Make sure to address any problems with them early on and keep in touch with them so you don’t miss out on this opportunity.
