Working Together
“The growth of any craft depends on shared practice and honest
dialogue among the people who do it. We grow by private trial and
error, to be sure -- but our willingness to try, and fail, as individuals is severely limited when we are not supported by a community that encourages such
risks."-- The Courage to Teach; Palmer, 1998, p. 144

What does Co-teaching look like at
NHS?Co-teaching is the collaboration
between general and special education teachers for all of the teaching responsibilities of all students assigned to a classroom…
In a co-taught classroom, teachers share the planning, presentation, evaluation, and
classroom management in an effort to enhance the learning
environment for all students.” Gately & Gately, 2001.
