  1. Hello everyone.
  2. My name is Trillini Hicks and we're gonna
  3. be talking all about the co teaching models.
  4. Alright.
  5. So before we get to identify what the co teaching models are,
  6. I think it's very important that we should define what co teaching actually is.
  7. So co teaching is when a general education
  8. teacher and a special education teacher worked together within
  9. a general education setting to provide instructions and support
  10. to the students that are in the classroom.
  11. Now there are five comical teaching styles or models. Okay? You have team teach
  12. parallel teaching station teaching alternative teaching and last
  13. but not least one teach one assist.
  14. So the first one that I'm gonna go ahead and talk about is team teaching. Alright.
  15. So I basically I'm gonna talk about how um co teachers can achieve team teaching.
  16. So with this both teachers are at the front of the room and they are actively teaching
  17. the educators tag team each other while they're teaching.
  18. So for example when educator makes a point the
  19. other educator may elaborate more on the point if needed
  20. when they're team teaching.
  21. Normally the co teachers don't pre plan on what is going to be said or who's
  22. gonna say what they normally just go with
  23. the flow and the input information as needed.
  24. Alright. So how to parallel teach
  25. In order to achieve parallel teaching,
  26. the class should be divided into two groups.
  27. Both of the educators are going to teach different groups
  28. but they're going to be teaching the same lesson at the same time,
  29. how to station teach
  30. A station teaching students are divided into three or more groups.
  31. The groups are dispersed at different learning stations. Okay.
  32. And as you can see to the right of your screen we have different stations.
  33. Um there is a teacher last station
  34. you have independent practice station.
  35. You have a collaborative station where students are collaborating with
  36. each other and then you have a technology station.
  37. Okay. So the groups who started one
  38. particular group and then they will rotate until everyone has
  39. finish each group.
  40. Okay. So how is our tenants teaching accomplished?
  41. So one educator teaches most of the class
  42. while the other educator teaches a small group of students and modified
  43. in or alternative version of the lesson that is being taught.
  44. And at the bottom of the screen you will see how um you have one teacher teaching on one
  45. side of the room and then you have another
  46. teacher teacher on the other side of the room.
  47. And for the most part you know say if um
  48. a teacher is talking about um let's see fractions right?
  49. Um the teacher that is teaching the modified version,
  50. maybe touching bases on the pre required skills before teaching the actual
  51. um lesson
  52. Last but not least one teach 1 assist.
  53. So how can co teachers accomplish this type of co teaching style.
  54. So one educator takes the role of the primary teacher
  55. and teaches them a lesson to the entire class
  56. while the other educator is roaming the class
  57. providing help to the students
  58. and managing any issues that may occur
  59. in addition to all of this.
  60. Um the teacher that is assisting
  61. may um ask for clarification from the primary teacher that is teaching
  62. the lesson so that it helps students have a better understanding.
  63. So the teacher says something in regards to the lesson that is not clear.
  64. You know,
  65. the teacher that is assisting may speak up and
  66. asks for um questions that are for clarification purposes.
  67. Okay, so of course there are pros and cons to all of the co teaching models.
  68. However, today we're gonna focus on the benefits of the co teaching models.
  69. So on this particular side, right here, I am listed each of the co teaching models
  70. and I have decided to identify what I believe is
  71. a good benefit for that particular co teaching model.
  72. So for example, we have team teaching.
  73. Something that I feel like is a great benefit from this
  74. particular model is that both teachers are able to actively teach.
  75. So for a parallel teaching um it lowers the student teacher ratio.
  76. So instead of the teachers having to teach a larger group of students,
  77. you're able to lower that number and have more one on one interaction.
  78. Um with the group of students
  79. as far as station teaching,
  80. it allows for more materials to be covered in a shorter time frame.
  81. So being that the students are retaining to different stations,
  82. you're able to get more accomplished within a set time period,
  83. as far as alternative teaching.
  84. Alternative teaching provides additional to support to struggling students
  85. without singling them out of the classroom.
  86. one teach 1 assist
  87. that provides data that can inform
  88. future instruction intervention and student grouping.
  89. So what I mean about this is when one teacher is um leading the classroom,
  90. the teacher that is providing assistance can be making
  91. mental notes or taking down data um to help the
  92. primary a lead teacher
  93. construct, you know,
  94. their lessons and their instructional um setting with in the future
  95. or for the future.
  96. And then the last slide of my presentation is this video that I have attached
  97. about co teaching models is basically going to
  98. summarize everything that I have talked about.
  99. Um So if you have time, I would definitely
  100. take a look at this Youtube video.
