The opening few chapters reviewed things I already knew, from taking a crash course training in co-teaching, offered by my district: questions to help guide our routines, structures to use to teach, etc.

What I found particularly useful were the case studies - when a (real? hypothetical?) situation was presented in a co-taught class, and the teachers/author worked on finding an alternative that was more useful for the students and teachers both. Those parts are what I will likely share with my co-teacher.

Was buying the 50-page worth the $10? It would be for someone who is new to co-teaching, yes. For me? I don't think so. It helps that I got it discounted.
