The purpose of examining the article “Co-teaching: Guidelines for Creating Effective Practices” by Cook and Friend(1995) is to establish a general platform that will attempt to answer what is the co-teaching model and what does co-teaching look like in a classroom setting. The work of Cook and Friend (1995) is in no way meant to cover or address the whole domain of research that is available on co-teaching; however, Cook and Friend(1995) research will be used to formulate a foundation and establish a clear definition of what is the co-teaching model and what does implementation of the co-teaching model look like in a classroom setting.
