Co-teaching focuses on meaningful shared instruction from two professionals, in one classroom setting made up of various ability levels. This course will provide teachers with the information to build and implement a successful co-teaching model in their classrooms. Topics that will be discussed include the definition of co-teaching as well as exploring six different models, including: one teach one observe, one teach one assist, parallel teaching, station teaching, alternative teaching, and team teaching.
