Co-Teaching...what is it?

Co- teaching is defined as a collaboration of two teachers to help general education students as well as students with learning disabilities. Co-teaching is a technique that can be used within the general education classroom and is a direction strategy implemented based off of the idea of No Child Left Behind that encourages all teachers to teach inclusively. No Child Left Behind encourages educators, both general education and special education, to consider the learning environment of students with learning disabilities, no matter the severity. There are several methods of approaching co-teaching. The following are models of co-teaching: One Teach One Support, Parallel, Station, Team Teaching, and Alternative. Each model focuses on a different way of teaching students but all are student friendly and productive when used properly within the classroom.
