Summary
Co-teaching in content areas like science and social studies is studied. It looks at successes, failures and challenges in including students with disabilities. The document discusses effective practices and barriers in co-teaching.
Co-Teaching in Content Areas
Co-teaching involves general and special educators working together in a classroom. It aims to increase instructional options and participation for students with disabilities. Various models of co-teaching exist, but there is no clear agreement on roles and responsibilities.
Effective Practices in Co-Teaching
Some co-teaching teams use hands-on, activity-based approaches. These methods make content more concrete and reduce language demands. Effective instructional skills are also crucial for successful co-teaching.
Roles and Responsibilities
General education teachers often take the lead role in co-teaching. Special educators may act more as activity managers. The special educator's content knowledge can affect their role and the success of co-teaching.
Challenges in Co-Teaching
Challenges include defining roles, managing responsibilities and preparing for high-stakes tests. The special educator's content knowledge varies across subjects. This can impact their teaching role and co-teaching success.
