One example of co-teaching is a general teacher working with a teacher's aid. When the teacher is finished with lecture, the aid can help students who require additional assistance.  Maybe the students need the content re-explained to them in an individualized manner; the aid can take care of this. The prescence of both the teachers and the aid increases the chances that all students get the attention they need.

Additional models are included in the document below:

While co-teaching, teachers will have an easier time maintaining control of their classroom. With a decreased teacher-to-student ratio, students will likely get enough attention to ensure they stay on task. This will also cut down on behavior that distracts other students.

One benefit of co-teaching for students is that co-teaching can reduce the teacher-to-student ratio.  By having two teachers in a classroom, students will receive more individual attention.  This will also cut down on time students are raising their hands and waiting for teacher assistance , called "hopeless handraising" by Fred Jones.

Students assisting students in learning can also be extremely beneficial! Sometimes, a student can benefit from having content explained to them by someone their own age. Also, this can spark friendships and lead to an improvement in social skills. Acceptance and support from classmates is crucial to effective inclusion.

Families are a vital part of collaborative teams providing special education service. Most importantly, parents can share important information regarding their child with the school and their teachers.  This will help teachers meet their child's needs at school. Parents can also reinforce school programs and discipline at home.

One individual involved in collaborative teams providing special education service is a Paraeducator, also referred to as a teacher's aid.  These individuals can provide additional support to inclusive students.  For instance, after a teacher is finished giving primary instruction, the teacher's aid can tutor students who need additional help.  They can also read content to students who struggle with reading.

In high school, I remember when a Social Studies teacher and a Language Arts teacher teamed up to teach us a unit on World War II.  We were assigned a major project: to create an ABC book based on World War II Topics.  Our social studies teacher was mainly responsible for teaching us the content that went into the book while our Language Arts teacher helped us with our writing and citations.

All teachers bring different skills to the table. A teacher may excel at something that their co-teacher may struggle with, and vice versa. Through co-teaching, teachers can balance their skills to benefit all students. By observing each others' use of skills, teachers can learn from each other as well.

When collaborating with another teacher, trust, respect, and communication are the keys to success. Most conflicts that take place during collaborating occur due to a misunderstanding or a disagreement about certain classroom elements. By being open and honest about your thoughts and opinions while respecting the other teacher's thoughts and opinions, the collaboration process will go smoothly.

As a teacher, one of the most important elements of collaboration is flexibility. When two teachers work together, they will need to be flexible in order to meet all students' needs.  For instance, a teacher may need to rearrange their schedule and balance priorities in order to create time for collaboration .
