Greenbrier School District, 2010. — 12 p.Traditionally, teaching has been an isolated task in which a general educator maintains all educational responsibilities for his or her classroom of students. A specialist owned the task of taking special education students out of the classroom for remedial lessons. Anyone who has ever been a part of a team knows that working together is vital to the success of all. The Co-Teaching Model has taken the idea of teamwork and focused it to change the face of education. Classrooms implementing this model look very different than traditional models of teaching.
What is Co-Teaching?
Co-Teaching is two or more individuals sharing responsibility for teaching all of the students assigned to a classroom. It involves the distribution of responsibility among individuals for planning, instruction, and evaluation for a classroom of diverse students.
