It
can oftentimes be difficult to share your “class” with another teacher
but it is important to remember when in a coteaching situation it is not
your class or the other teacher’s, it is both your class now. Before
school begins, it is a good idea to sit down and discuss how each of you
will interact with each other, the students, and the content being
taught. There are a few main teaching styles used for co-teaching::
Team
Teaching - This is the model we use. Both teachers share the
responsibilities of delivering instruction to the entire class.
One
Teacher, One Drifter - One teacher leads instruction while the other
teacher drifts around the room clarifying and working with students who
seem to be falling behind.
Parallel
Teaching - Both teachers deliver instruction but at the same time. So
one teacher would work with one group in a part of the room while the
other teacher delivers the same lesson to a different group in another
part of the room.
