Think about this….
“Effective co-teaching can be
compared to synchronized
swimming—teammates must
carefully coordinate, not only to
win but to avoid drowning.”
Elizabeth Stein, The Middleweb Blog

Today’s learning…
Learn how to make the best out of the most difficult situation!
Explain the rationale and benefits of co-
teaching
Become familiar with the six approaches
for co-teaching
Discuss how co-teaching practices can
work for your situation to maximize student
learning!

The dilemma…
You start the first day of school positive, smiling and
ready to be an inspiration in the lives of every student.
You receive your student roster. You have over 100 k-1
ELL students, 2/3 are tier III. You have no aide and no
other ESL teacher in your building. You have to serve all
of the students according to building and district RTI
model…at least 4x a week…and they all need you. ALL
OF THEM!!
4
Turn and Talk….
Can this really happen?
Where do you begin?
What do you do?
5
Your challenge if you choose to accept it:
1. Cry and run!
OR …..
2. Get creative with the stars around you to create the greatest teaching
and learning of all time!

The Creation of a Partnership
Identify your PROBLEM!!
Find STARS to work with-reading support and
title I teacher who share your students and
your beliefs-other literacy experts
Look at data to group students by
deficiency and need for appropriate
interventions
Divide students into intervention groups for
Phonics/Word Work, Vocabulary/language,
and Reading Comprehension/Fluency

Survival…
Co-teaching!!

What is it?
“Co-teaching is first and foremost an
approach for meeting the
educational needs of students with
diverse learning abilities.”
Cook & Friend, 1995

Who does the co-teaching?
Co-teaching occurs when two or more
teachers (e.g. special education,
related services, ELL, reading) share
physical space in order to actively
instruct a blended group of students,
including students with disabilities and
linguistic needs.
10
Shared Responsibility
To teach required curriculum
With mutual ownership, pooled resources, and joint accountability
Although each individual’s level of participation may vary-you are instructing ALL students on the core instruction
