1. One Teach, One Observe: One person agrees to what type of data is going to be collected Co-teachers can decide in advance what types of specific observational information to gather during instruction and can agree on a system for gathering the data. Teachers analyze results/information together 2. Station Teaching: Students Rotate T Teachers divide content and students. Each teacher then teaches the content to one group and subsequently repeats the instruction for the other group. 3. Parallel Teaching: Same MaterialSmall Groups Teaching the same information, both teachersthe classes are halved so the educator is working with less students The teachers are both covering the same information, but they divide the class into two groups and teach simultaneously. 4. Alternative Teaching: Same MaterialDifferentiated The information is the same but the teaching styles are different to meet the needs of the students, base it off what the kids like to do One teacher takes responsibility for the large group while the other works with a smaller group. 5. Team Teaching: Both teachers are teaching, ideas are bounced off both teachers and engaged in the activity. Teachers need to gel and collaborate. Tag-Team teaching 6. One Teach, One Assist Sadly too common, waste of money. One person has primary responsibility for teaching while the other professional circulated through the room providing unobtrusive assistance to students as needed. It's important to remember that Special Education teachers are extremely educated and resourceful. However, the planning is what makes the process tricky.
