  3. To Get Us Started: • What have you heard about co-teaching? • What questions do you have about co-teaching?

  4. Big Picture Perspective • Provide all students with standards based instruction • Provide instruction in the least restrictive environment (LRE) • Provide all students equal opportunity to have teachers who are both content masters and process masters

  5. The Balancing Act Rigorous, challenging, standards-based curriculum with Research based, differentiated instructional strategies in the general education setting

  6. Content Expert: What is the content? Big Ideas? Concepts? Terms? Skills? Process Expert: What are the process(es) that will best equip our students to grasp the content? Small groups? Repetition? Guided Feedback? Strategies? Goal?

  7. Key Focus

  8. Co-Teaching ~ Marilyn Friend • Co-teaching is a professional classroom partnership. • Co-teaching enables educators to: • Readily determine what students need • Deliver instruction and assess student learning more efficiently • Tailor learning to specific needs

  9. This is where co-teaching & effective instruction meet! • Learning is enhanced when students have frequent opportunities to interact with peers. • Students require multiple opportunities to come to know, understand and be able to apply new concepts and information. • Successful instruction for all requires ongoing communication and collaboration with colleagues.

  10. Co-Teaching Caveats • Co-teaching is not one person teaching one subject while another person photocopies. • Co-teaching is not occurring when one teacher conducts a lesson and others stand/sit and watch. • Co-Teaching does not only occur within classroom but also during academic support periods.

  11. Co-Teaching Caveats • Co-teaching is not happening when the ideas of one person prevail for what is to be taught or how it will be taught. • Co-teaching is not a perfect system!

  12. Co-Teaching Approaches • Supportive Teaching • Complementary Teaching • Parallel Teaching • Team Teaching

  13. ASK THE PANEL: Provide one example of co-teaching you have done utilizing one of the approaches just mentioned.

  14. ASK THE PANEL: • What is the role of the general education teacher? • What is the role of the special education teacher?

  15. ASK THE PANEL • What skill sets are necessary for this type of teaching?

  16. Is This Really Possible? • High expectations and commitment to standards • Redefined role • Collaborating in new and different ways with new ‘friends” • Moving beyond: “Resource room teacher”

  17. ASK THE PANEL: • What is the most challenging component of co-teaching? • What advice do you have for co-teachers to be successful?
