#co-teaching

Implement various co-teaching models for a general education and special education teacher pair. Models: 1. One Teach, One Observe: One teacher leads, the other collects data on student performance. 2. Station Teaching: Teachers divide content and students; each teacher leads a station, with a third station for independent work. 3. Parallel Teaching: Class is split in half; each teacher teaches the same content to a smaller group. 4. Alternative Teaching: One teacher works with a small group needing re-teaching or enrichment while the other teaches the larger group. 5. Team Teaching: Both teachers lead instruction together, bouncing ideas off each other. Key to success: dedicated co-planning time (at least 1 hour/week), clear roles and responsibilities, and parity between teachers.
