The Access Center
• National Technical Assistance Center– Funded by the U.S. Department of
Education, Office of Special Education Programs
• Focus on issues of access– What is “access”?
• Active learning for students with disabilities of the content and skills that define the general education curriculum
![Page 4: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Access Center’s MissionTo provide technical assistance that strengthens state and local capacity to help students with disabilities learn through general education curriculum

The Access Center’s Goals
• With an emphasis on research-based programs, practices, and tools, our services are intended to:
• Increase awareness among educators• Help educators to be informed consumers • Assist educators to implement and
evaluate programs, practices, and tools

Background
General educators are more receptive to change when they have background knowledge and a chance to participate in the decisions rather than being given a special education mandate to follow.
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 9: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Background (cont.)
Special educators have developed a tendency to “lead ” students by grammar and translation exercises which decrease the “voice” and participation of classroom teachers in collaborative problem solving.
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 10: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aligning Practices Through Co-Teaching• Co-teaching is becoming one of the
fastest growing inclusive practices in school.
• Despite this rapid increase in popularity, co-teaching remains one of the most commonly misunderstood practices in education.
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 11: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Defining Co-Teaching
Co-teaching occurs when two or more professionals jointly deliver substantive instruction to a diverse, or blended, group of students in a single physical space.
Cook & Friend, 1995, p. 1
![Page 12: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Three Major Models
• Consultant model• Coaching model• Collaborative (or teaming) model
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 14: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Most Common Approaches• One Teaching, One Drifting• Parallel Teaching• Station Teaching• Alternative Teaching• Team Teaching
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 15: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
One Teaching, One Drifting• One teacher plans and instructs, and
one teacher provides adaptations and other support as needed
• Requires very little joint planning• Should be used sparingly
– Can result in one teacher, most often the general educator teacher, taking the lead role the majority of the time
– Can also be distracting to students, especially those who may become dependent on the drifting teacher
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 16: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Parallel Teaching
• Teachers share responsibility for planning and instruction.
• Class is split into heterogeneous groups, and each teacher instructs half on the same material.
• Content covered is the same, but methods of delivery may differ.
• Both teachers need to be proficient in the content being taught.
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 17: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Station Teaching
• Teachers divide the responsibility of planning and instruction.
• Students rotate on a predetermined schedule through stations.
• Teachers repeat instruction to each group that comes through; delivery may vary according to student needs.
• Approach can be used even if teachers have very different pedagogical approaches.
• Each teacher instructs every student.Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 18: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Alternative Teaching
• Teachers divide responsibilities for planning and instruction.
• The majority of students remain in a large group setting, but some students work in a small group for preteaching, enrichment, reteaching, or other individualized instruction.
• Approach allows for highly individualized instruction to be offered.
• Teachers should be careful that the same students are not always pulled aside.
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 19: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Team Teaching
• Teachers share responsibilities for planning and instruction.
• Teachers work as a team to introduce new content, work on developing skills, clarify information, and facilitate learning and classroom management.
• This requires the most mutual trust and respect between teachers and requires that they be able to mesh their teaching styles.
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 20: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Getting Started
![Page 22: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Where to Begin: Building Bridges
Walking across the bridge, leaving the familiar ground of working alone, is the first act of collaboration. All parties are in neutral territory, with the security of knowing they can return to land better, stronger, and changed. And perhaps they will return to the same side of the bridge even though they started from opposite sides.
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 23: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is Change?
Change is always:– Risky– Scary
But it can also be:– Rewarding– Fun
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005

Collaboration Won’t Just Happen• Deliberate• Structured• Systematic• Ongoing
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 25: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why Won’t it Just Happen?Some possibilities might be:
• Little understanding of curriculum, instruction, and assessment between general and special educators
• Collaboration does not occur without a student-driven reason and a deliberate structure with resources.
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 26: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Won’t it Just Happen? (cont.)• General educators begin with the
curriculum first and use assessment to determine what was learned.
• Special educators begin with assessment first and design instruction to repair gaps in learning.
• No wonder we are talking different languages.
Steele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 27: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How Can We Work With This?
• Provide purpose and structure• Create baseline and a plan for
scaffolded change• Provide a visual map to guide
discussion• Keep discussions objective • Allow many issues to be put on the
table for considerationSteele, Bell, & George, 2005
![Page 28: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sounds Good . . . Now What?
Getting Co-Teaching Started at the Building and Classroom
Levels
![Page 29: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Action Steps
Administrators should• Provide information and encourage
proactive preparation from teachers• Assess level of collaboration currently
in place• Pre-plan• Implement slowly . . . baby steps!
Murawski, 2005
![Page 30: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Considerations
• Teachers need to volunteer and agree toco-teach.
• Co-teaching should be implemented gradually.
• Attention needs to be given to lower level students and setting changes that an inclusive classroom may invoke.
• Goals and support services need to reflectthe new learning experiences that students will receive in general education classes.
Murawski & Dieker, 2004
![Page 32: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Not an All-or-Nothing Approach• Teachers do not have to commit to
only one approach of co-teaching.• Teachers do not have to only co-
teach.• Co-teaching is not the only option
for serving students.• Some students with disabilities may
be in a co-taught classroom for only part of the day.
Murawski, 2005
![Page 33: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Limitations and Potential Drawbacks• Co-teaching is not easy to maintain in
schools.• There may not be enough special
educators for a co-teaching program.• Co-taught classrooms may be
disproportionally filled with students with one level of student.
• Special educators can function more as a teaching assistant than as a co-educator.
Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 34: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Benefits of Collaboration
• Shared responsibility for educating all students
• Shared understanding and use of common assessment data
• Supporting ownership for programming and interventions
• Creating common understanding
Friend & Cook, 2003

Effective Co-Planning
![Page 36: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Pre-Planning
• Co-teaching requires thoughtful planning time.
• Administrative support is essential.• Here is where the alignment of special
and general education occurs• Make this time as focused as possible• Take turns taking the lead in planning
and facilitating

Provide Weekly Scheduling Co-Planning Time• Co-teaching teams should have a
minimum of one scheduling/planning period (45–60 minutes) per week.
• Experienced teams should spend10 minutes to plan each lesson.
Dieker, 2001; Walther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996
![Page 40: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Effective Classroom-Level Planning • Co-teachers should show a shared
commitment and enthusiasm.• Both teachers’ names should be posted
on the door and in the classroom.• All meetings and correspondence with
families should reflect participation from both co-teachers.
• Skilled planners trust the professional skills of their partners.
Walther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996
![Page 41: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Effective Classroom-Level Planning (cont.)• Effective planners design learning
environments for their students and for themselves that demand active involvement.
• Effective co-planners create learning and teaching environments in which each person’s contributions are valued.
• Effective planners develop effective routines to facilitate their planning.
• Planning skills improve over time.Walther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996
![Page 42: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Two Stages of ClassroomCo-Planning1. Getting to know each other2. Weekly co-planning

Getting to Know Each Other• Ease into working with one another• Deal with the “little” things first• These typically become the
deal-breakers down the road, and preventing these road blocks earlycan make life easier.
Walther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996
![Page 44: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Getting to Know Each Other (cont.)• Important to spend time talking and
getting better acquainted with eachother’s skills, interests, and educational philosophies
• Having a semistructured preliminary discussion can facilitate this process.
• Discuss current classroom routinesand rules
Walther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996
![Page 47: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Getting to Know Each Other (cont.)• Consider a “pilot test”• It may be necessary to plan
together during the summer (i.e., prior to development days involving all staff).
Walther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996
![Page 49: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Getting to Know Each Other (cont.)• Consider completing a teaching style
inventory– Compare how each of you prefers to
structure assignments, lessons,classroom schedule, etc.

Weekly Co-Planning
• Effective weeklyco-planning is based on regularly scheduled meetings,rather than “fittingit in.”
• Important to stay focused• Review content in advance of
meetingWalther-Thomas, Bryant, & Land, 1996

Weekly Co-Planning (cont.)• Guide the session with the
following fundamental issues:– What are the content goals?– Who are the learners?– How can we teach most effectively?

Collaborative Scheduling
• Collaborative Scheduling A• Collaborative Scheduling B• Collaborative Scheduling C
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 58: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Collaborative Scheduling A• Special educator divides teaching
time between two different classes in the same day.
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 59: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Advantages of Collaborative Scheduling A • Enables students with disabilities to
access a broader range of general education classrooms, including AP and honors
• Ensures the availability of direct support from a special educator for critical parts of the instructional programs
• Improved ratio of students with disabilities to students without disabilities
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 60: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Challenges of Collaborative Scheduling A
• Requires effective consulting skills on the part of the special educator
• Larger danger that the special educator will not be seen as an equal partner to the general educator
• Could possibly disrupt the class routine
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 61: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Collaborative Scheduling B• The special educator divides time
between two different classes.• The involvement of the special
educator varies by days of the week, not within classes in the same day.
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 62: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Advantages of Collaborative Scheduling B• Advantages are similar to
Collaborative Scheduling A.• Co-teachers report an ability to
implement a full range of co-teaching models because of the planned involvement of both teachers in complete classes on certain days ofthe week.
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 63: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Challenges of Collaborative Scheduling B • Challenges are similar to
Collaborative Scheduling A.• Teachers need to be cognizant of
the presence of two teachers on only certain days of the week.
• Students with specific support and accommodation requirements have to be well aligned to the schedule.

Challenges of Collaborative Scheduling B (cont.)• Requires general educator to be able to
implement IEP requirements in the absence of the special educator
• Special educator burnout is an issue because of the greater demand of knowledge of the general education curriculum.
• Requires supervisory judgment regarding which teachers can effectively plan and implement this model
Walsh & Jones, 2004

Collaborative Scheduling C• The special educator serves as a
resource to the interdisciplinary team.• His/her schedule is established weekly
on the basis of instructional activities.• Requires the greatest amount of
flexibility and planning by an interdisciplinary team of teachers
Walsh & Jones, 2004
![Page 66: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Advantages of Collaborative Scheduling C • Special educator is present when
needed most for instructional support.
• Instructional need dictates the cooperative teaching role, not the calendar or time of day.
• Most responsive to students’ needs and schedules.
Walsh & Jones, 2004

Challenges of Collaborative Scheduling C• Requires the highest degree of
planning and buy-in by a team of teachers

Co-Teaching in Action
![Page 69: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Instruction
• Most difficult but also the most rewarding• There are things that can be done to
maximize success and rewards:– Review the different approaches to co-teaching
and think about how each might look in a classroom
– Discuss each other’s learning style preferences to see how these can be incorporated into the lesson to assist students with varying styles
Murawski & Dieker, 2004
![Page 70: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
“We get along very well. We are both flexible and have developed similar
expectations for students and similar classroom management styles. We feed off each others’ comments and teaching styles. We switch which groups we work
with so that we both get to perform a variety of roles with all our students. We work together; develop together;
and bounce things off each other. Working as a team makes you feel
good.”
Salend, Gordon, & Lopez-Vona, 2002
![Page 71: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
“I don’t think I’d like to work in this type of program again. She felt like a visitor in my classroom, and we never connected
personally. We struggled because of differences in roles, teaching and
communication styles, and philosophy. The students also were confused. They felt
that I was the teacher and she was my aide. I felt like she was always watching me and judging me. We didn’t know how to do it and received little support from
our principal.”

Instructional Tips
• Develop unobtrusive signals to communicate with each other
• Create signals for students that are consistent and can be used by either teacher
• Vary instructional practices• Clearly display an agenda for the class, which
includes the standard(s) to be covered and any additional goals
• Avoid disagreeing with or undermining each other in front of the students
• Strive to demonstrate parity in instruction whenever possible by switching roles often
• Avoid stigmatization of any one group of studentsMurawski & Dieker, 2004

Three Stages of Co-Teaching as They Apply to:• Physical Arrangement• Familiarity With the Curriculum• Curriculum Goals and Modifications• Instructional Presentation• Classroom Management• Assessment
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 75: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Physical Arrangement
![Page 76: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Physical Arrangement: Beginning Stage• Impression of separateness
– Students with disabilities vs. general education students
• Little ownership of materials or space by special educator
• Delegated spaces which are rarely abandoned
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 77: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Physical Arrangement:Beginning Stage (cont.)• Invisible walls• A classroom within
a classroom
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 78: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Physical Arrangement:Compromising Stage• More movement and shared space• Sharing of materials• Territoriality becomes less evident.• Special educator moves more
freely around the classroom but rarely takes center stage.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 79: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Physical Arrangement:Collaboration Stage• Seating arrangements are
intentionally interspersed. • All students participate in
cooperative grouping assignments. • Teachers are more fluid in an
unplanned and natural way.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 80: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Physical Arrangement:Collaboration Stage (cont.)• Both teachers control
space: Like an effective doubles team in tennis, the classroom is always “covered.”
• Space is truly jointly owned.
Gately & Gately, 2001

Familiarity With the Curriculum
![Page 82: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Familiarity With the Curriculum: Beginning Stage• Special educator may be unfamiliar with
content or methodology used by the general educator.
• General educator may have limited understanding of modifying the curriculum and making appropriate accommodations.
• Unfamiliarity creates a lack of confidence in both teachers.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 83: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Familiarity With the Curriculum: CompromisingCollaborative Stages• Special educator acquires a
knowledge of the scope and sequence and develops a solid understanding of the content of the curriculum.
• Special educator gains confidence to make suggestions for modifications and accommodations.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 84: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Familiarity with the Curriculum: CompromisingCollaborative Stages (cont.)• General educator becomes more
willing to modify the curriculum, and there is increased sharing in planning and teaching.
• Both teachers appreciate the specific curriculum competencies that they bring to the content area.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 85: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Curriculum Goals and Modifications
![Page 86: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Curriculum Goals and Modifications: Beginning Stage• Programs are driven by textbooks and
standards, and goals tend to be “test-driven.”
• Modifications and accommodations are generally restricted to those identified in the IEP; little interaction regarding modifications to the curriculum.
• Special educator’s role is seen as “helper.”
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 87: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Curriculum Goals and Modifications: Compromising Stage• General educator may view
modifications as “giving up” or “watering down” the curriculum.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 88: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Curriculum Goals andModifications: Collaborative Stage• Both teachers begin to
differentiate concepts that all students must know from concepts that most students should know.
• Modifications of content, activities, homework assignments, and tests become the norm for students who require them.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 89: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Instructional Presentation:Beginning Stage• Teachers often present separate
lessons.• One teacher is “boss”; one is “helper.”
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 91: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Instructional Presentation:Compromising Stage• Both teachers direct some of the
activities in the classroom.• Special educator offers mini-
lessons or clarifies strategies that students may use.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 92: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Instructional Presentation:Collaborative Stage• Both teachers participate
in the presentation of the lesson, provide instruction, and structure the learning activities.
• The “chalk” passes freely.
• Students address questions and discuss concerns with both teachers.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 93: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Classroom Management

Classroom Management:Beginning Stage• Special educator
tends to assume the role of “behavior manager.”
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 95: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Classroom Management:Compromising Stage• More communication
and mutual development of rules
• Some discussion for individual behavior management plans
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 96: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Classroom Management:Collaborative Stage• Both teachers are involved in
developing a classroom management system that benefits all students.
• Common to observe individual behavior plans, use of contracts, tangible rewards, and reinforcers
• Development of community-building and relationship-building activities as a way to enhance classroom management
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 97: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Assessment
![Page 98: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Assessment
• With the current emphasis on high-stakes tests, co-teaching provides an effective way to strengthen the instruction–assessment link:– Discuss grading before it becomes an
issue– Consider a variety of assessment options– Offer menus of assignments– Share the grading load and align grading
styles Murawski & Dieker, 2004
![Page 99: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Assessment: Beginning Stage• Two separate grading systems are often
maintained separately by the two teachers.• One grading system may also be exclusively
managed by the general educator.• Measures tend to be objective in nature and
based only on a student’s knowledge of the content.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 100: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Assessment:Compromising Stage• Two teachers begin to explore
alternate assessment ideas.• Teachers begin to discuss how to
effectively capture students’ progress, not just their knowledge of the content.
Gately & Gately, 2001
![Page 101: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Assessment:Collaborative Stage• Both teachers appreciate the need
for a variety of options when assessing students’ progress.

Evaluation
• Researchers have been reluctant to measure outcomes of co-teaching. This provides a good opportunity for teachers to engage in their own action research. They should begin to collect data on their own to document outcomes.– Teachers and administrators should evaluate co-
teaching situations at least once per year. – The rule that assessment informs instruction should
also apply to co-teaching: As co-teachers continue to assess their situation, they must ensure that they are improving their instruction to best meet students’ needs in an inclusive classroom.
Murawski & Dieker, 2004; Friend & Cook, 2003
![Page 105: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)

Activity Directions
• Each group will read and discuss their scenario.
• Be prepared to report back to the group with a summary of the scenario, including:– Comments about pros and cons– Personal insight into why the example
was a positive or negative experience for the co-teachers
![Page 107: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)

Working Relationships
• Elementary team volunteered; middle school team was assigned.
• Both teams were upbeat and able to interject appropriately during the lesson and displayed mutual respect.
• Both teams indicated a genuine trust and respect for their partners.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 109: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Strengths as Motivators
• Both teachers on both teams claimed ownership for all of the students who were enrolled.
• Teachers emphasized importance of enthusiastic teaching while maintaining effective behavior management.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 110: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Time Allocated forCo-Planning• Elementary team did not have time
allocated for co-planning:– Met before/after school and at lunch– Because they enjoyed each other’s company,
lack of scheduled co-planning time did not appear to be a barrier to effective instruction.
– Mentioned that it would have been easier ifthe administration had allowed them time forco-planning
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 111: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Time Allocated forCo-Planning (cont.)• Seventh-grade team had a common
free period for planning during which time they could:– Review where they were in the content– Determine what needed to be covered
and by when– Develop optimal ways to present
information and complete activities
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 112: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Appropriate Curriculum
• Both teams used a hands-on,activity-based approach to instruction:– Made content more concrete– Lessened the language and literacy
demands of tasks
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 113: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Appropriate Curriculum (cont.)• Activity-based instruction lends
itself very well to co-teaching:– Teachers can share more equitably in
instruction.– In fact, teachers appear to be more
likely to share instruction in a hands-on approach.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 114: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Effective Instructional Skills• Both teams used effective
instructional skills:– Framework of daily review, presentation
of new information, guided and independent practice activities, and formative review
– Effective classroom management, including good behavior as a prerequisite for participation in activities, such reinforcers as positive comments, and tangibles
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 115: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Disability-Specific Teaching Adaptations• Both teams planned for individual
student performance within the unit and how to handle individual differences:– Reduced language and literacy
requirements
• Special educator worked with students who required adaptations.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 116: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Disability-Specific Teaching Adaptations (cont.)• Seventh-grade team used
PowerPoint presentations for supplemental review.
• Special educator adapted tests by reducing amount of written language in questions.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 117: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Expertise in the Content Area• In fourth grade, both teachers
deferred to each other during instruction so all students would benefit:– Teachers frequently exchanged roles as
presenters.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 118: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Expertise in the Content Area (cont.)• In seventh grade, the division between
the content and the adaptation experts was more pronounced:– General educator appeared to have an
advantage over the special educator with respect to content knowledge.
– Special educator viewed this as an advantage (i.e., giving him/her an opportunity to learn the curriculum).
– During lessons, special educator more frequently assumed the role of assisting individuals and small groups than the general educator. Mastropieri et al., 2005

Co-Planning• Both teachers had allocated planning
time; however, this was also their individual planning time.
• One period per week was allocated for co-planning. Planned for:– Curriculum issues (in general), scheduling
for curriculum sequence, and types of assignments and activities
– Ways to divide the teaching responsibilities
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 121: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Co-Planning (cont.)
• Lack of planning was an obstacle toco-teaching– Resulted in lessons that were too advanced
for all students– Left one of the team members feeling
trapped in an unworkable situation– As tensions mounted, teachers began to
split the class into two small groups and moved them into separate rooms for many of the activities.
Mastropieri et al., 2005
![Page 122: Co-Teaching for teachers (also use handouts)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5464f863b4af9f00368b4569/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
Teaching Styles
• Each teacher had a distinct style of instruction:– One teacher was very relaxed and casual;
the other was more structured and formal.– In the beginning, these styles seemed to
complement each other.– Students appeared to adapt to the
differences in styles and expectations.– As the year progressed, the extreme styles
contributed to the deterioration of the team.

Behavior and Classroom Management• Little structure was in place in the
beginning.• No specific class behavior rules were
posted.• Teachers implied that schoolwide behavior
policies were the expectations for the class.• The loosely structured classroom behavior
structure suited one teacher but not the other.– This was a contributing factor to the eroding of
the team—the final straw.Mastropieri et al., 2005
