5. Co-Teaching
(or how to spec ed in someone else’s classroom)
Co-Teaching is an educational approach
in which two teachers work in a coactive
and coordinated fashion to jointly teach
academically and behaviorally
heterogeneous groups of students in an
integrated setting.
6. Benefits of Co-Teaching
Expedites transition into the general
education setting
Enables teachers to function on a proactive
basis
Increases job satisfaction
Reduces stress and burnout
Increases teaching and learning potential
Decreases problems with generalization
across settings
Provides students with more cohesive
programs
7. Benefits of Co-Teaching
(contd.)
Provides the expertise of two professionals in
planning and problem solving
Provides students with a model of
collaboration
Allows students to work with teachers with
different styles
Allows student assessment to be classroom-
based
Increases the potential for students who are
having difficulty to receive assistance
9. Co-Teaching
Thereare 5 models of what co teaching
can look like (6 really)
One teach, one support
Station teaching
Parallel teaching
Alternative teaching
Team teaching
One teach, one come in and modify tests
10. One Teach, One Support
Most Common
One lead teacher (usually the core
certified teacher)
Teaches the class
One support teacher (usually the special
education teacher)
Circulates and gives individual support to all
students (special ed and general ed)
Little co-planning happens
11. Station Teaching
Teachers divide content
Students are distributed evenly (both
teachers teach both gen ed and spec
ed)
Separate but shared responsibilities
12. Parallel Teaching
Both teachers teach the same content
(at the same time
Each deliver instruction to half the class
(heterogeneous make up of students in
each half)
Joint planning (including
accommodations and modifications)
13. Alternative Teaching
One large group, one small group
Small group pre-teaches, reinforces or
reteaches large group
Small group can be made of both spec ed
and gen ed students
Joint planning
14. *Team Teaching
Shared instruction
Coordinated activities in one lesson
Mutual trust and commitment
Co-planning
