Co-teaching conflicts are not just about differences in style—they’re rooted in unspoken motivations. One teacher might value structure, seeing predictability as a way to ensure safety. Another might thrive on spontaneity, using flexibility to boost engagement. When these motivations clash, it can feel like chaos. The key to harmony isn’t about compromising on methods; it’s about understanding the underlying “WHY” that drives each approach.
