The "educational prenups" I would consider would be establish a rapport with your co-teacher.

Get to know them since you will be sharing a classroom all year. Find out things about your co-

teacher like, are they married, what are their hobbie, do you have anything in common with

them. A positive relationship will help minimize problems and motive you to solve them before

the escalate. Next you should identify teaching styles. Create a cohesive classroom. If you and

the co-teacher have different teaching styles, work on ways to combine them to provide the

utmost learning experience for the students. This also includes how you handle behavior and

discipline issues. If you combine your teaching styles, you can learn something different. Lastly

formulate a plan of action and be a unified team. Consider scheduling classroom procedures,

consequences for violating procedures, communication between home and school. Determine

roles in advance so there is no contradicting each other's role.
