Narrative:

We departed runway 24 for right traffic pattern while practicing landings with a student. Traffic that departed after us was also closed traffic for runway 24 right traffic; they were advised to follow us. As my student turned downwind; I noticed a shadow of an airplane over the ground flying towards our direction. As that caught my attention; I started looking for traffic. After scanning for about 3-4 seconds; I noticed a low wing aircraft flying right at us. I immediately took the controls and initiated a climb to take evasive action. The airplane continued their downwind turn as we continued to climb and we were exactly above the airplane. I advised the controller that we started an immediate climb due to traffic. The traffic below us was asked to make a left 360 degree turn on the downwind and then we continue the traffic pattern in front of them. We landed normally.
