Editor's Notes
- #3 Co-teaching is used in classrooms that have inclusion students, consisting of a regular education teacher and a special education teacher. This is becoming a widely used and popular structure in our modern educational community. Co-teaching can look like 5 different models. Most successful co-teaching settings utilize all five models throughout the school year.
- #4 This model of co-teaching is ideal for larger classes. Teachers will split the class in half and teach the same lesson at the same time. In larger classroom settings, students can easily get lost in a lesson, but by breaking the class into a smaller group makes it harder for this to happen causing larger chances for success for the students. In my own experience, this was a very good model when teaching inclusion math. We were able to teach at a rate that was appropriate for our individual groups and give more individualized attention to students who needed it.
- #5 Also known as tag team teaching, this is a highly favored style of teaching amongst co-teachers. Both teachers take turns leading the instruction during the lesson. This is one of the more commonly used models in a co-teaching setting. This style also allows students to experience a healthy collaboration relationship if the model is done correctly in the classroom setting.
- #6 This is a co-teaching model that can be used, but should not be utilized on a regular basis. If co-teachers use this model on a daily basis, it will make one teacher dominant in the classroom and not create a healthy inclusion environment for the students. This model should be used for assessment purposes. The teacher who drifts can observe the students as a whole and individually to help guide future lessons in the classroom.
- #7 In most classrooms that utilize station or centers, the class is broken into four small groups. Each co-teacher takes one of the stations and is responsible for leading that group. These are usually activities that require some guidance, like small group reading groups. The other groups are activities that the students would be able to complete independently. Stations takes a lot of planning and preparation on the teachers' parts, but is a highly enjoyed model especially on the elementary level.
- #8 Alternative teaching is the last co-teaching model. This is when one of the co-teachers leads the whole class in a lesson. While that teacher is teaching, the other has pulled a small group of students to work with. This can be a way to help struggling students with a concept, or could also be utilized for students who need enrichment on the lesson that is currently being taught.
