Co-teaching is an alternative approach to instructional delivery in which the general and special education teacher have shared teaching responsibilities by planning, delivering, and assessing instruction together in a single classroom.
Purpose
The purpose of using the co-teaching model for special and general education teachers is to provide services to students with disabilities successfully in the general education classroom, with the proper structures in place. This includes the use of research-based instruction and tools. The co-teaching instructional model allows students whom have academic or behavior issues to be provided with differentiated lesson content in the least restrictive environment of the general education setting.
