1.One teach, one assist

2. One Teach, One observe

3. Station Teaching

Parallel Teaching
Alternative (Differentiated) Teaching
Team Teaching

Teaching styles, student needs, teacher strengths. Available resources, classroom environment.

You must consider:

-the needs of the students

-the relationship of the co-teachers

-the size of the classrooms

-how much support is needed throughout the lesson
