Re: I hate push-in

I am in total agreement with you. My state, NC, has been
pushing the idea of co-teaching instead of push-in the way
you describe it. In fact, I don't think we are even allowed
to do push-in anymore unless it is co-teaching. (I am sure
that it's not being enforced across the state.) I still think
co-teaching is not always the best option--some kids need to
be pulled out. And I am trained and experienced in teaching
ESL kids, not native English speakers. Co-teaching's
functioning well is dependent on common planning time and the
other teacher's desire to work together. Anyway, if you are
interested I can email you some official documents from NC
where it talks about how what you described is not to be
done. Maybe that would be some good reading for your literacy
specialists.
