This may be a full-time model or a part-time or as-needed model. ]]> 2020-08-14 21:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681048550 bowliaie https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681050452 Co-teaching enhances the educational experience and boosts the outcomes of the students involved.  It also reduces the teacher-to-student ratio and gives each student more time to receive instruction or feedback one-on-one. 

It also allows teachers to build synergy in the teaching. Where one needs more development]]> 2020-08-14 21:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681050452 bowliaie https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681052037 There are different models to co-teach including:

Team teaching will work best when both teachers are on the same page. This can not happen until they have at least some level of rapport. They need to build trust with one another to be able to present a unified front to the students. ]]> 2020-08-14 21:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681058542 bowliaie https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681061141 Next co-teachers  need to focus on their communication styles and preferences.  Communication will always be vital so that students do not become confused. If teachers are sending mixed messages or differing directions, then students will become frustrated and lose interest. ]]> 2020-08-14 21:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681061141 bowliaie https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681065807 It  allows teachers to build synergy in the teaching.  Where one needs more development (weakness) they other may be more experience or developed (strength). This will help each teacher develop further and they have a partner to provide feedback and help them grow in their pedagogy. ]]> 2020-08-14 21:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681065807 bowliaie https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681068846 No! Special education teachers can take the lead and teach lessons just as well as the general education teachers. The general education teacher can also learn more about how to teach students with disabilities or IEPs as well. ]]> 2020-08-14 22:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681068846 bowliaie https://padlet.com/bowliaie/co_teaching/wish/681070557 Co-teaching can provide better outcomes for students of all abilities and backgrounds as well as better development for teachers.
