Co-Teaching by Gao Vang https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit Activate Prior Knowledge en-us 2019-10-23 15:54:47 UTC 2025-04-24 11:06:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Co-teaching & Support https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402583708 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

- 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]]> 2019-10-25 14:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584046 Different models to co-teach. kao_moua https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584078 Support for a successful co-teaching environment: 
- flexibility 
- building a relationship with colleague and connecting with them

Having a check in sheet or form is a good idea.]]> 2019-10-25 14:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584132 Already Know https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584159 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.]]> 2019-10-25 14:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584159 Should be equal https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584200 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]]> 2019-10-25 14:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584200 There are different models and how they are utilize depends on the EL/content relationships, students needs, scheduling (collaboration time)... https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584203 2019-10-25 14:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402584203 It is important, helpful and it is a great way to support students.

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. https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402585306 2019-10-25 14:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402585306 You absolutely need planning time, but this isn't often built into the schedule https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402585884 2019-10-25 14:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402585884 Support!?!? https://padlet.com/gao_t_vang/ru4le331ulit/wish/402585897 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.

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
