  4. Session I Promoting Collaboration and a Professional Relationship Objectives: • Develop strategies to promote effective collaboration with your co-teaching partner • Identify barriers that impede effective co-teaching, and determine ways to address those barriers

  5. AccessFrom the Classroom to the Curriculum Federal Legislation • No Child Left Behind NCLB (2001) • IDEA (2004) To address the needs of students and comply with the mandates of federal legislation, co-teaching has become an acceptable service delivery model to meet the needs of special education students in the inclusive setting (Friend et al.) Bouck, 2007; Friend et al., 2010; Rice et al., 2007; Wilson & Michaels, 2006)

  6. Administrators’ Decisions Directly Impact the Effectiveness of Co-Teaching Support Knowledge Base Schedule Evaluation The Gift of Time (Friend et al., 2010; Smith & Leonard, 2005; Scruggs et al., 2007; Mastropieri et al., 2005)

  7. Who Were You? • What kind of student were you in grade school and high school? • Did you always work hard and excel? • Or did you challenge your teaches by what you did or didn’t do? (Hoerr, 2011)

  9. Establishing a Collaborative Environment with a Co-Teacher Collaborate! We Need to Talk!

Carousal Activity Directions: Identify your 3 greatest challenges to co-teaching, and place a sticky note on each of the corresponding posters around the room. • Time • Planning • Discipline • Parity • Content • Communication • Expectations • Structure • Grading • Space • Noise Large Group Discussion: “How do we address the challenges?”

  15. No names, just insights Three things I can use are… 1. 2. 3. What I still need to know is… 1. 2. 3. This would have been better if… 1. 2. 3.

  16. Session II Moving Beyond the Lecture: Meeting the Needs of All Learners Objective: • Develop effective instructional delivery methods to address the needs of all learners in the co-taught classroom

  18. “One Size Does Not Fit All” Barriers Exist in the Classroom Textbooks Assessments Lectures Lack of interest Skill LevelLack of social skills

  19. How to Address the Needs of All Learners • Differing instructional presentation styles gave students more opportunities to be successful (Cramer et al., 2010) • Varying instructional practices such as cooperative learning and peer tutoring (Dieker & Murawski, 2003) • Differentiated instruction and assessment to meet individual student needs (Cramer et al., 2010) • Technology offers new learning options for all students (Edyburn, 2006; Kim et al., 2006; Rice et al., 2007)

  20. Models of Co-Teaching (Friend, 2003)

  21. Jigsaw Activity • Divide into 5 groups • Each group is assigned one model of co-teaching • As a group, answer the following questions: Why might we want to use this type of co-teaching? What barriers could there possibly be? • Present to large group

  22. Selecting an Approach and Instructional Strategies • Student characteristics and needs • Teacher characteristics and needs • Content and instructional strategies • Pragmatic considerations (Friend, 2003)

  23. Application Activity • Plan and develop a sample lesson with your co-teacher which will utilize either Team Teaching, Station Teaching, Alternative Teaching, or Parallel Teaching. • Implement this lesson in your co-taught classroom before the next session. • Share this experience with the large group at the next session.
