GEDUC 479B Co-Teaching for Improving Instruction_For All

Co-teaching is one of the fastest growing inclusive practices in schools and has the potential for greatly improving access to the general curriculum for all learners. In this course, participants will look at the principles and practices of service delivery options including complementary, parallel and co-teaching. Lesson design, effective strategies, communication monitoring, and benefits will be discussed. The co-teaching design for the course is based on current research and practice that states that the strongest link to increased student achievement is ongoing collegial work with a goal-oriented approach to improving instructional practice and student learning. General Education and Special Education teachers will work together to plan and implement service delivery that will successfully meet the needs of all their learners based on data, needs and priorities.
