This first thing teachers need to do before they start co-teaching is to find the time to plan a lesson together. They need to talk about what style of teaching they are planning to use. They need to be able to work well together if not they need to talk about what isn’t work. Both teachers need to be able to communicate with another to come to an agreement. That communication could be verbal or non verbal.

    Co-facilitated session plan For the purpose of this assignment, I propose to approach the hypothetical planning of a co-facilitated session with another party in three stages; pre-session, during the session and post- session. Pre-session I would consider the pre-session planning of a co-facilitated session with another party to be an imperative part of the process. As we would both need to work collaboratively throughout the process to help the group achieve goals, the main objective would be for us to meet well in advance of the meeting in order to get to know each other and establish a trusting and respectful relationship, whereby we would welcome constructive feedback and have the ability to work through any differences which may arise.…

    Often the teachers may be a general education teacher and the other a special education teacher. There are six approaches to co-teaching. They are as follows: one teach/ one observe, one teach/ one assist, station teaching, parallel teaching, alternative teaching, and team teaching. I chose to discuss this topic because it is important to remember these approaches to co-teaching because of the possibility of experiencing co-teaching in my future career. Co-teaching helps assist classroom instruction because by knowing each approach, you can better choose which approach will best suit the content and the students.…

    For example, I will have teachers team up with other teachers to discuss similar problems occurring within the classroom. I will have them brainstorm and come up with a plan that will help the students achieve gains. It is also important to mention classroom management. In order for the classroom to be a learning environment, teachers will have to manage the classroom effectively. Research has shown that teachers' actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as do school policies, assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement (Marzano, 2003).…

    While reading “Using Collaboration, Co-Teaching, and Question Answer Relationships to Enhance Content Area Literacy” by Nicole Fenty, I had a chance to learn about some strategies that can be used while co-teaching with a Special Education teachers and a general education teacher. Collaboration is the key to success in a general education setting where there are students who have an IEP because the teachers need to be on the same page of what the students need to learn while Co-Teaching. It is important that each teacher shares the responsibility of teaching the students. This sharing of responsibility allows for teachers to become more knowledgeable in their subjects which, allows them to teach the areas they know the best. Being knowledgeable…

This assignment got students talking and working together just like we discussed in class.…

    Teaching at Russell Middle School was much different than teaching at Mountain Vista Elementary. Both experiences were fulfilling but each were completely different. In our lesson we taught the 7th grade advance math class about scale factoring. Our cooperating teacher had just introduced the topic to the class the day before we taught our lesson, so it was nice coming into the class and being able to teach the students something new. This lesson also had us teaching as a group and not in separate small groups.…

    This was an example of formative assessment as she watched the models each student drew so as to assess whether they understand the concepts taught. This technique also modeled the one teach one support integrated co-teaching model. After pacing the room, the special education teacher also sat beside the general education teacher and retaught the concepts of the lesson using models. Friend and Cook 2000 supported inclusion as they defined “Co-teaching as a specific service delivery option that is based on collaboration.” After that activity, students sat in different groups to complete the activity in their go math workbook.…

    In the past, I participated with a program that allowed me to plan and observe another teacher at a different campus who taught the same grade level. It was a great experience. We observed each other’s classrooms and learned wonderful ideas from each other. Our students completed projects together which encouraged their social skills with one another. The teacher leadership program has expanded my thinking of the make-up of teacher collaboration meetings.…

    However, I had to be careful to balance these plans without taking total control of their teaching practices. Normally, before a meeting I would have the teachers send me concerns from their own classrooms. I was able to use their suggestions (and include others that needed to be covered) in a more helpful manner. By allowing the teachers to offer input, they felt as though I validated their role and was working to make life easier for them. From this they were much more receptive to my…
