CO-TEACHING DEFINED
WHAT IS CO-TEACHING? “Two or more professionals delivering substantive instruction to a diverse, or blended, group of students in a single physical space.” (Cook & Friend, 1995).
“…paraprofessionals, parent volunteers, or older student volunteers also have roles in assisting the teachers. But these arrangements do not meet the definition of co-teaching as we have articulated it.” (Cook & Friend, 1995).
Essentially, co-teaching is a team sharing planning, instruction, formative and summative assessment, feedback and responsibility.

YOUR CO-TEACHING EXPERIENCESTASK:
1. Discuss with a partner or small group one of your co-teaching experiences.
2. Rate it (e.g., effective, ineffective, mediocre).
3. Why would you rate it this way?
If you haven’t co-taught, have you observed co-teachers? Rate them and justify your rating. http://faculty.virginia.edu/coteachUVA/images/

MODELS OF CO-TEACHING
MODELS OF CO-TEACHING1. Supportive Teaching
One teacher serves as the lead One provides support to students in a 1-on-1
tutorial format (drifts)
2. Team Teaching Team teachers share all the planning, instruction,
assessment, and responsibility for the class
3. Parallel Teaching Both teachers lead breakout group instruction in
different parts of the classroom
4. Alternate Teaching Teachers take turns presenting material
5. Station Teaching Teachers staff different stations for instruction
6. Complementary Teaching One teacher provides insights, examples, or
elaboration to enhance the teaching of the other

OVERCOMING PERSONAL ISSUES: POWER, CONTROL AND EGO
How do we define roles in order to avoid conflict?
1. Write a mission and vision statement individually, discuss, then rewrite together.
What do you want your classes/program to look like? Accomplish?
2. Write individually and discuss roles in planning, instructional delivery, class management and assessment.
What are your preferred instructional delivery methods/approaches/techniques?
Which parts of lesson planning, delivery, assessment to you enjoy? Which do you dislike?
What are your most favorite and least favorite topics/subjects/content?
CRITICAL ANALYSIS: What are your strong suits? Weaknesses? Limitations?
http://www.dohafamily.com/expat-partner-roles.jpg
OVERCOMING PERSONAL ISSUES: POWER, CONTROL AND EGO
How do we define roles in order to avoid conflict?2. CONTINUED…Discuss roles in planning,
instructional delivery, class management and assessment.
What is your classroom management plan? What are your behavior expectations? Rules?
Consequences? Noise-level in classroom? Tardiness?
Business of classroom: room set up, procedures (i.e., dismissal, gathering/distributing papers, leaving the room, etc.) emails/phone calls, substitute teacher?, etc.
Great resource: https://www.education.ne.gov/bmit/pdf/establishingclassroomrulesandconsequences.pdf
How will shared resources be managed (i.e., computer, phone, etc.)?
How will you communicate with parents? What are your parent-teacher conference roles/responsibilities?
How will you share other responsibilities, such as lunch/bus duty, assemblies, field trips, etc.?
OVERCOMING PERSONAL ISSUES: TIME How do we plan collaboratively without wasting time? Ground rules and agreements
Avoiding a complaint session Be individually accountable
Have an agenda of goals to accomplish Develop action plans for individual tasks
Map your curriculum; Create and follow a long and short term curriculum plan
Share a lesson plan format, gradebook and grading scale/rubrics; Utilize the same document formats
Cite your resources clearly Utilize Google Drive or other document development/sharing/feedback and library

Shumway, et. al., 2011.
INTERPERSONALProfessional respect and trust Ideally, co-teaching collaborations should be organic. The teachers would choose with whom to work.
Ways to establish respect and trust without welding a weighty ego ;-)
Open and frank communication If you feel/think something, say something*! Open communication is the key to a successful partnership.
*constructively!
http://www.amypleet.com/images/consult%20cartoon.png
OVERCOMING INTERPERSONAL ISSUES How can we get on the same page?1. Share your teaching
philosophy. How is language learned? Which methods/approaches do
you advocate? Which techniques and
activities are your go-to? What is the format of your
lessons?2. Discuss your teaching
style. Are you formal/informal? Are you more traditional,
constructivist, or interactive?

OVERCOMING INTERPERSONAL ISSUES: COMMUNICATION STYLES
How can we get on the same page?1. Take a Communication Style Inventory and
discuss your results. http://
occonline.occ.cccd.edu/online/klee/CommunicationsStyleInventory.pdf
http://blog.visme.co/the-4-communication-styles-quiz/ Conderman, G., Breshanan, V., & Pedersen, T. (2009).
Purposeful co-teaching: Real cases and effective strategies. Pp. 13-15.
2. Be careful about assumptions.3. Hold discussions using open-ended questions:
What are your thoughts on…. How do you feel about…
4. Employ “I” messages I think that… I feel….
5. Use paraphrasing to check comprehension: What I hear you saying is…
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/06/c7/89/06c7895187135edabccbd48b668fcdec.jpg
OVERCOMING INTERPERSONAL ISSUES: MANAGING CONFLICT How do we manage challenges during instruction without conflict? On-the-spot
Always present a united front. Defer until appropriate time and place. It is okay to offer differing perspectives on the content; if there is a conflict in delivery, discuss it in a private aside or meeting.
Other Teaching Reactions/Values Clarification Discussion: What happens if…. Discuss possible scenarios that are common problems in the classroom and how each person likes to respond to these types of challenges.
Discuss random uncommon challenges and hypothesize how he/she might react.
Discuss your pet peeves and things that push your buttons.

WHAT ARE SOME GROUPING STRATEGIES TO USE IN CO-TEACHING?1. Heterogeneous
Unlike needs/interest/skills/mixed gender, this may be useful when assessing instructional or intervention focus for future grouping.
2. Homogeneous Like needs/interest/skills/same gender, this may be
useful when providing targeted instruction or interventions.
3. Skill-based Same skill level; this may be useful when providing
targeted interventions.
4. Student interest Same research topic/project; this may be useful when a
project or topic is assigned for class-wide presentations.
5. Action research Teachers may wish to do action research on instructional
or intervention strategies for an identified group of students.
6. Random No formal organization; allowing students to group
themselves.

A SCHOOL-WIDE INITIATIVE
TIPS FOR SCHOOL-WIDE IMPLEMENTATION• Start the process before the school
year begins by sharing with stakeholders, including parents, proposed program planning, vision, and professional development outcomes.
• Identify and provide common planning time. x Plan team composition, compatibility, and schedules to ensure effective instruction.
• Identify and provide opportunities for ongoing and targeted professional development.
• Set class size guidelines to enable numbers to be maintained at a reasonable level.
• Maintain effective teams from year to year.
• Share school faculty members about the benefits of co-teaching.

http://www.uft.org/files/photo/get-your-students-the-services-they-need-img_0409.jpg
TIPS FOR SCHOOL-WIDE IMPLEMENTATION• Develop a school-wide belief in
inclusive practices that increase accessibility to the core for all. The notion of “your kids, my kids” should be replaced with the notion of “our kids”.
• Develop parental support/buy in/knowledge regarding co-teaching.
• It is important to have ESL teachers teach in the same content area rather than spreading them across multiple content areas.
• Assign ESL teachers to content areas in which they have credentials, expertise or interest.
• Determine how teacher evaluation will occur and what the criteria are.Adapted from http://www.schools.utah.gov/sars/Instruction/CoTeaching.aspx
https://www.dpsk12.org/wp-content/uploads/MG_9762.jpg
SCHOOL-WIDE IMPLEMENTATION• TASK:1. Reflect upon: Who would be supportive and
participatory in an initiative? How will you garner support
from school leadership? What evidence do you need to
advocate for a co-teaching arrangement?
What financial, scheduling or other obstacles might need to be overcome?
2. Action items: What are your first steps? What resources do you need?Adapted from http://www.schools.utah.gov/sars/Instruction/CoTeaching.aspx

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AS A
MEANS TO EFFECTIVE CO-TEACHING
HOW CAN WE KNOW IF OUR CO-TEACHING ARRANGEMENT IS WORKING? It is vital to conduct on-going self-evaluation of the co-teaching situation for improvement and growth.
