  4. Translate beliefs into a shared vision. • Create a mission statement by answering the question: What do you hope to accomplish by teaching collaboratively? • Examine instructional tasks and identify who will be responsible (General Educator, Special Educator, or Both). • Consider issues and develop an action plan. • Record decisions to form a shared vision of classroom responsibilities.

  5. Establish regular cycles. • Agree upon days and times to regularly collaborate. • Identify a process for sharing instructional plans. • Discuss when instructional materials will be available for review and how accommodations will be implemented. • Record ideas to establish regular cycles for collaboration.

  6. Attain an Advance Plan. • State what indicators and objectives students will learn in the upcoming lessons. • Identify assessment methods and instructional strategies to facilitate student learning. • Determine what materials are needed. • Discuss how instructional accommodations will be provided according to students’ needs. • Identify which co-teaching method(s) best fits the instructional objectives and supports implementation of accommodations.

  7. Make time to Communicate and Evaluate. • Review the implementation of the previous Advance Plan, examine student work, and discuss successes and challenges. • Finalize the upcoming Advance Plan by addressing questions, problems, and suggestions. • Make sure everyone is clear about the next steps and address any remaining issues.

  8. Stick to the Plan. • Implement the plan according to what both educators have decided. • If changes are necessary, be sure to follow an agreed upon protocol for adjusting the Advance Plan. • You will discuss whether or not you stuck to the plan when you make time to communicate and evaluate during the next collaboration cycle.
