Recently, co-teaching in science and mathematics has largely been the result of accountability. Increased numbers of students with special needs placed in general education mathematics and science classrooms challenges educators to jointly deliver instruction to all students. This session provides practical tips aimed at inclusive science and mathematics learning outcomes.

7. Why Coteaching in Math & Science?
Student achievement [in Secondary Math and
Science] is the ultimate goal of bringing two
educators with unique skill sets into the co-
teaching relationship.
Dieker, 2001

11. Why Station Teach?
Station teaching provides co-teachers with
both time and a method to successfully
instruct smaller groups of students in the use
of tools and content in any subject area, but is
particularly well suited to mathematics and
science where discrete skills and deeper
holistic processing/critically thinking of
content are both needed.

“Encourages teachers to focus on skills such as
higher order thinking, deep knowledge,
substantive conversations, and connections
outside the classroom. Station teaching
provides a convenient opportunity for co-
teachers to design lessons to promote the
skills necessary to successfully access the
Common Core State Standards” p. 51

48. Universal Design for Learning
At the heart of UDL is the use of technology that
allows for learning environments to be
individualized and motivating because of the
high interest technology lends to 21st century
learners.
Hall, Strangman, & Meyer, 2003

49. Technology is the
for students. It's
something they want to
master. Learning to use it
enhances their self-
esteem and makes them
excited about coming to
school.
-Fifth grade teacher
