drop in co-teaching

by As Title I teacher, I've been in the classroom

Jun 26, 2011

when a new concept is being taught. I've shared other ways to look at math problems. With the same teacher (different year) I've co-modeled reading discussions. When the chemistry is there between teachers, I think it can be a powerful model for students.

our spec. ed teachers do drop in teaching Our Spec. Ed teacher, especially lower el, will come in and help develop a concept, teach a center, or give an idea to make things go more smoothly. Very helpful.

Wish my school did more co-teaching....

by Tallytchr

Jun 26, 2011

Unfortunately, our school doesn't really encourage this. We're a one teacher in a classroom with 18-20 kids kind of school!

We do try to share with a common planning period which is better than some schools.

Would love to co-teach though.

Co-teaching in a Physical Education setting

by K.

Jun 27, 2011

My experience with co-teaching has been in Physical Education, and many states require the regular classroom teachers to come in the gym with the physical education teacher who then has about 60-70 students at once. The regular classroom teachers should be constantly monitoring, as the physical educator gives instruction, but they don't want to do ...See More

Co-teaching advice?

by Susan Cox

Jan 19, 2013

This is my first experience with co-teaching and I really think I'd like it in a different set up. I have four 8th grade Social Studies classes with an average of 28 students a class, 11 of each are special needs. My co-teacher is actually a TA with no Special Education certification. She seems determined to grade papers, and walk the kids to the c...See More

How is she a "co-teacher" if she has no credential? You're not "co-teaching." You've got an aide in your room who's not doing her job. Who does HER observations, when she's out roaming the countryside instead of helping the kids?

Does it work well? What are the benefits?

by Leslie Lonadier

Apr 26, 2013

I am a PK-3 methods student and am close to student teaching. I have observed a few classes for some of my courses that has had co-teachers in the classroom. I was in those classrooms for a few hours at a time and it seemed like it worked for the most part. But I also wondered if it was beneficial or kind of confusing for the students. I would thin...See More

A ny co-teacher Co-teaching can work extremely well if both parties are willing to put forth the work. I am a co-teacher myself and have seen a number of wonderful co-teaching partnerships and a number of them which are not. When both parties are invested and interested in the relationship co-teaching is a huge advantage for the students in the room. Not just the ...See More
