The last part of the interview was where there were some differences in some answers. Two teachers defined consultation as deciding what actions should be taken to focus on the need or subject area needed for further support. Another teacher defined consultation as discussing information or getting advice from another colleague. One barrier that a teacher mentioned was that some professionals want to try a textbook approach rather than a personal deduction. I found this interesting because our curriculum is ever changing; technology is ever changing, so I believe our teaching styles should sometimes change too. All three teachers agreed that their college courses did not prepare them for consultation. One teacher said graduate school has though, which was comforting.

Two of the three teachers I interviewed both agreed that collaboration involved teachers meeting and planning together as a whole. They also mentioned that some barriers might include the fact that old school teachers may not be open to new ideas and trying something new. It was also mentioned that a barrier could be if teachers have different schedules throughout the day, it could be hard to get together to plan and collaborate. It comforted me to know that these teachers I work with daily are all very comfortable with collaborating and working together in order to give the students what they need to succeed. Unfortunately, all three teachers agreed that their college courses did not prepare them for collaborating with teachers too often.

I interviewed three different coworkers of mine at my school. One was my grade partner, a third grade general education teacher. Second was the special education teacher who pushes into my grade partners classroom all day. Finally, I interviewed another special education teacher who has her own resource room in a self-contained setting.

While reviewing the patterns under the co-teaching column, I noticed multiple patterns. The first pattern I recognized was that all three teachers I interviewed, mentioned that co-teaching was 2 or more teachers with one mind, working together, sharing roles as leader and support role. They also mentioned that they share while planning and organizing lessons in the classroom.  Some benefits that all three teachers also mentioned were that you have a chance to observe another teaching style, there is differentiation in the classroom, and that you can learn from one another. Something I found interesting was that all three teachers also said the one major barrier of co-teaching would be the fact that one teacher would feel they need absolute control of the classroom. Two of the three teachers also stated that something to prepare them for a co-teaching role would be to meet with the co-teacher before the school year began to get to know them and also begin planning and talk boundaries. Overall, I feel that all three teachers I interviewed thought that co-teaching would benefit themselves and the students in the classroom.
