You co/teach for two periods only? She has other students the rest of the day? or are her only students in your room during advisory period?
Does she just adapt the lessons and then you implement them? Or do you both implement them? ... co/teaching runs the gambit, and is not necessarily implemented in any two classrooms in exactly the same way.
Are you sure that she gets the same planning periods that you do? What is the service project, and do the kids have ld or behavioral challenges? I would think adaptations for the service project would likely not change significantly from week to week? Depending on the project... it might be nice to have extra hands, but those might not necessarily have to be the teachers.
Most of the time when i co/taught, i would adapt the teacher's plans, and be in the classroom while she taught, reinforcing and assisting... sometimes i co/taught a unit in which i actually helped plan it out, but most teachers, frankly, didn't want that.
Paperwork for special education is horrendous, and the assessment requirements can be quite time consuming depending on the practices of your district. I'd be interested in wha the director of special education says...

Sounds like you guys need to get together with the director and work out what your mutual expectations are.

The kids in special ed are entitled to access the general curriculum with whatever supports and services will achieve that access, including, but not limited to, a special ed co-teacher.
If the general curriculum includes an advisory period and service projects and the kids' disabilities prevent them from accessing (i.e., participating) in those service projects without the special ed co-teacher, then she needs to be there to help them access the general curriculum.

Sorry I missed your post. I am teaching special ed and am scheduled to co-teach a 10th grade English class. I would have been interested to hear your side of it.
