6 Models of Co-Teaching
Alternative Teaching
One Teaching, One Observing
One teacher is responsible for leading instruction while the other teacher observes the class, handles behaviors, gathers data, etc.
- Pros: Students receive help more quickly, easier to keep students on task
- Cons: Students think one teacher is more powerful, Learned helplessness
One teacher provides instruction to the majority of the class, while the other teacher pulls a small group of students (in the class or out). Content of small group does not have to align with large group.
- Pros: Small groups get intimate needs met, each teacher gets a smaller group
- Cons: students can become labeled, noise/space if small group is in same class
Station Teaching
Teaming
Students are broken into several groups, heterogeneous or homogeneous. Each teacher provides instruction at a particular station. Other stations are ran independently or by a TA. Student groups rotate around all stations.
- Pros:Teachers have clear instructional responsibility, students get small group instruction, can separate, or group, particular students
- Cons: lots of planning, must have lots of structure, rigor, timing stations
Both teachers are active in the planning and delivery of instruction to the entire class. They work together and no one teacher is in charge or the leader.
- Pros: each teacher is active, teachers are active
- Cons: takes lots of planning, teachers need to be clear on roles and responsibilities
Parallel Teaching
One Teaching, One Assisting
Students are split into two groups (general homogeneous). Each group is lead by a teacher. The same content is taught but through a different, or differentiated, method of instruction.
- Pros: Smaller student groups, teachers teach the way they are more comfortable, student learning needs are met
- Cons: Both teachers need to know content, pacing must match, can be noisy
One teacher is responsible for leading instruction while the other teacher supports individual students, answers questions, and monitors behavior.
- Pros: Students receive help more quickly, easier to keep students on task
- Cons: Students think one teacher is more powerful, Learned helplessness
