Co-Teaching Article Collaborative Team Teaching: Challenges and Rewards Eight Ways to Use Video with ELL

This course provides teachers of all levels background knowledge and strategies to help begin or further develop a successful co- teaching partnership. Learn about the differences between co-teaching and team teaching in a regular education classroom. See how a regular education and a special education teacher team co-teach. We will share (through discussion and video clips) how to begin the journey of co-teaching, how to make the partnership work, develop lessons, and highlight achievement data to support the success of this model. The focus of the course is on practical application of the models of team teaching and co-teaching, reflection and application of team relationship building, and lesson planning in a co-teaching classroom. Participating teachers will engage in self-reflection, partner and group discussions, brainstorming, lesson planning, and application of strategies in their classrooms. Teachers will be expected to implement strategies and lessons created during this class in their classrooms.
