Co-teaching
One Teaching, One Observing (whole group): One teacher goes over a lesson while the other observes/collects data on a student(s) academic and social functions.
Use when: assessing student(s) for IEP's, collecting data or identifying classroom behaviors in short segments.
Should NOT use: when students are needing active support as the observer is not there to assist or if the observer is in the classroom for long periods of time as they could become a distraction.
Station Teaching (small group): Where a teacher divides the class into small groups who rotate "centers" or stations. These stations are set up to help students understand lessons or practice skills.
Should use: to provide students with more practice on skills. For example: working on number sequencing. Three centers could be used one for writing and tracing numbers, another to place numbers in order using manipulatives, and the last one working one on one with the teacher.
Do NOT use: when teaching new and long lessons that students cannot practice on their own as they will not understand tasks.
One Teaching, One Assisting (whole group): One teacher teaches the lesson while the other assists students who need redirection or help answer questions.
Use when: A teacher is teaching a lesson and students are needing one-on-one attention where the one assisting steps in so that the teacher teaching does not have to pause instruction.
Do NOT: make it into a routine so that the teacher assisting becomes more of an assistant than a professional partner. This would lead to unequal partnerships.
Parallel Teaching (small group): When two teachers divide the students into two groups where they must teach the same material.
Should use: when teachers are needing to provide differentiation to a group of students where they can modify how they learn the material being taught.
Do NOT use: if the division of the classroom affects student concentration due to noise or movement coming from different parts of the room.
Teaming or Interactive Teaching (whole group): Where teachers take turns teaching and monitoring instruction.
-
Alternative Teaching (Big group/Small group): when one teacher teaches/reteaches a group of students while the other focuses on teaching the remainder of the class.
Should use: when a group needs support for better understanding of content or when a group is needing harder work due to mastering content.
