Support (and understanding of what co-teaching is like) from administration.

Where are content teachers when co-teaching training is provided? It should be done with both EL and Content teachers so that they are on the same page.

Co-teaching is a collaborative teaching model that utilizes 2 or more teachers in a classroom. The idea is to have a content teacher and a language or SPED teacher in a room. Each teacher teaches to their strengths and leverages their expertise to assist students with specific academic needs

We have embedded PLC time for co-planning and I also meet with my co-teachers daily either before or after school to plan and collaborate. My co-teachers and I are also very flexible and we make on-demand modifications to lessons as needed

You absolutely need planning time, but this isn't often built into the schedule

I don't really have supports in place for co-teaching and collaboration. I have one teacher willing to co-teach, one who isn't. The one who is willing doesn't seem willing, or have the time, to co-plan. I've had school coaches coming to meetings saying "you must co-teach" but no helpful, supportive ideas for HOW to begin co-teaching.

It doesn't work if there is not time for planning. Administration can expect it but if there are no opportunities to truly collaborate it doesn't work. The result being that students don't receive appropriate language supports.

There are different models and how they are utilize depends on the EL/content relationships, students needs, scheduling (collaboration time)...

Support for a successful co-teaching environment:
- flexibility
- building a relationship with colleague and connecting with them
- shared PLC time
- communicate, communicate: phone, email, Google Doc, Schoology, in-person

It can be wonderful or horrible depending on who you co-teach with

I already know that it takes two to tango, and we need both teachers willing to take time and energy to co-plan and co-teach.
Co-planning is HUGE. If you don't have time to co-plan, it won't work.
Therefore, we need TIME to co-plan, in order to co-teach effectively.

We have shared PLC time to plan

A good relationship

Shared drive to modify and add to lesson plans

One co-teacher rather than many

- Co-teaching can benefit EL students by providing rigorous content instruction combined with the support of an EL teacher in a classroom.
- Co-teaching is most effective when co-teachers share common prep time
- Ideally, co-teaching relationships should be maintained from one school year to the next

Co-teaching models: Parallel, lead teacher/assessment teacher, etc. Co-teaching requires concerted effort on both ends to align content w/ language goals. Co-teaching is not one above the other; it is sharing the same goals of making equitable the content through language scaffolding.

Supports in place:
Regular weekly team meeting; online plans (but not always updated); building-wide initiative on language goals; mutual respect among colleagues; data; monthly PLC on language goals and co-teaching reflections; in-building PDs on co-teaching
