I’ve Been in Your Shoes…Co-Teaching: Where do we start?
![Page 3: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A Match Made Where? Co-teaching is really all about teaming.
Whether you and your partner(s) Chose to work together (a love match), Schedules threw you together
(marriage of convenience) Or were told you would work together
(an arranged marriage), You are on the same team. Teams are
made of individuals, and that’s what makes is SO very interesting!

Making a Good Match
General Educators – Develop a “Dream List” that answers the question… “What would you like most from a
special education co-teacher and an administrator”?
Special Educators and Administrators – What skills, abilities, and materials do you have to offer? (a dowry, so to say!)

So,Why Co-teach? (k-8)
Most popular model of inclusion Least Restrictive Environment and
continuum of services (IDEA-04) Content instruction by content specialists and
highly qualified teachers (NCLB-01) No more off grade level PACT Testing
Only 2% allowed to take PACT ALT Resource and self-contained models of pull-out
for content instruction less workable or justifiable
It’s just a good instructional practice – if it’s done right!

The Difference Between Co-teaching and SupportingCo-Teaching Certified teachers or
therapists only GenEd teacher and SpEd
teacher plan together Regular and scheduled
planning Both teachers come
prepared Format for planning
Shared Instruction Active engagement
throughout instructional time Use of a definable
instructional arrangement More of an equal partnership
Supported Instruction May be 2 certified teachers/
therapists OR a certified teacher/ therapist and an assistant
Less planning or ongoing communication may be evident
Special Ed. personnel obviously in assisting role
General education has primary responsible for instruction and direction
Teach and Support/Assist is prevailing instructional arrangement
Less of an equal partnership

Sooooo,
… exactly what are we talking about?
Video Clip – (Co-Teaching Defined)
![Page 15: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
To Recap - Co-teaching is (Friend & Cook, 2000)
Planning and delivering instruction collaboratively
Through a blend of direct and indirect support and services
In a subject content area To students with diverse needs Primarily in a single general classroom
setting.
![Page 16: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
From the Literature…
This approach increases instructional options, improves educational programs, reduces stigmatization for students, and provides support to the professionals involved. (Cook & Friend, 1995)
Teachers share the planning, presentation, evaluation, and classroom management in an effort to enhance the learning environment for all students. In this way, the teachers can provide more integrated service for all students, regardless of their learning needs.”(Gately & Gately, 2001)
![Page 17: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key Components of Successful Co-Teaching Defined roles and responsibilities Varied instructional arrangements Starting with a plan and commitment to
ongoing co-planning Formal information sharing Administrative understanding and support Appropriate levels of modification

Our Plans for the Future…
SHOULD
SHOULD NOT

Co-Teaching at Castle Heights Middle School …
SHOULD be collaborative – “we” do it Planned schedule and student
placements (hand schedule SpEd students first and keep a workable balance)
Be student need driven Use strengths of each teacher Include differentiated instruction Actively involve both teachers in
classroom tasks (grading, instructing, etc.)
Include planning for partnershhip prior to school starting
Be the standard model for identified “at risk”course
SHOULD NOT Be an extra planning period for either
teacher Make the SpEd teacher “assist only” Relegate one teacher to the side lines Be hastily planned Become a pull-out model Be referred to as “your” students and
“my” students

Let’s Start with “WE” Do!
That thing we do together!
Video Clip – (Collaboration)

Co-Teaching is a Blend of..
Direct ServiceThe Special Education
teacher DOES work directly with students in a
general or special setting.
Indirect ServiceThe Special Education
teacher does not work with the
students, but with the teachers and
staff who provide the direct instruction.

So, How Does this Translate into Teacher Roles and Responsibilities? Overall Program Roles - Basic INCLUSIVE
Responsibilities and Tasks

Roles & Responsibilities for Inclusion
Classroom Teacher’s Role: To plan, coordinate, schedule, and evaluate curriculum and instructional outcomes within a secure, positive, and enriched inclusive classroom environment.
Special Educator’s Role: To provide instruction and support which facilitate the participation of students with disabilities in general education classroom

It’s Best to Make it Clear
Let’s define a written list of school-wide guidelines for the overall roles and responsibilities of General Education Teachers and Special Education Teachers. For each list…
Circle the number of the items you want to keep Mark out the number of the items you want to delete Write in any changes Add items you want to include
![Page 29: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
These Lists are Useful ---- HOW?

On-Going Planning
You HAVE to plan – so schedule it and show up prepared! Gen. Ed. – instructional plans and materials Special Ed. – target student names and supplemental
material You need a planning format
Planning Ahead Form Co-Teaching Lesson Plan Book (Dieker, 2002) Calendar Plan book Notebook
![Page 36: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Barrier IssuesYou’ve Got to Find a Way Around! Grading Scheduling Planning Time
![Page 37: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Finally, Tips for Inclusive Settings
Be aware of the target students and consider individual IEP needs in planning
Keep special needs student ratio about 1/3 to 1/4
Don’t always group the students with special needs together or seat them in one special spot
Schedule consultation or joint planning time.
![Page 38: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Finally, Tips for Inclusive Settings
Make sure both teachers have the same “understanding” of things Get trained together Fill out these forms together!
Brush up on basic communication and “people” skills
Incorporate strategies and techniques that have a sound research base.
![Page 39: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Finally, Tips for Inclusive Settings
WRITE DOWN personnel roles and responsibilities
Review your co-teaching considerations and/or co-teaching plan a month after it’s first developed, then at the end of each semester
Make changes only at natural breaks, like the end of a semester
![Page 40: Co-Teaching The Short Course Dr. Wendy Fetner Dover Rock Hill School District 3 Rock Hill, South Carolina](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013111/551b2bc655034607418b6098/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
