CO-TEACHING: THE POWER OF 2

INSTRUCTOR(S): Marilyn Heifner, CESA #11
GRADE LEVEL: A service delivery model of shared instructional responsibility for General Education Teams.  Districts are encouraged, but not required, to send teams.
 

Co-Teaching is designed for teacher teams looking to improve their practice and design a Co-Teaching Team as a service delivery model.  Workshop participants will have the opportunity to explore both the conceptual and the operational aspects of this innovative approach.  We will study collaborative skills that can help co-teachers succeed in teaching ALL students.  Participants will learn:

bullet

How to define co-teaching and distinguish it from terms such as collaboration, team teaching and inclusion;

bullet

Relate co-teaching to current trends toward collaboration in public schools, both in general education and in
special education;

bullet

Provide a rationale through philosophy, research and recent legislation for implementing co-teaching;

bullet

Discuss critical components of a teacher's model for co-teaching; and

bullet

Outline school factors that affect co-teaching; and

bullet

Plan co-taught lessons.
