About Co-Teaching
Co-teaching is two or more people (i.e., cooperating teacher and credential candidate) sharing responsibility in planning for, teaching and assesing the students assigned to them for instruction. In a co-teaching clinical practice approach, a cooperating teacher and credential candidate have an ongoing partnership in planning for and practicing four co-teaching approaches to collaboratively teach all students throughout the clinical experience.
Why Co-Teach in Clinical Practice?
1. Improved student achievement...the stakes are high.
2. Improved teacher preparation...scaffolding and training the brains of beginning teachers.
3. Collaboration is crucial to the changing culture of education...isolation is not the most effective process in a constantly changing environment and world.
4. Increased confidence and competence building to solo teaching for the Teacher Candidate.
