Extended information for Co-Teaching Teams

My co-teacher and I worked together for many years. We both had similar perspectives, which improved our collaboration. Our priority was to create a safe, loving class community. I learned a lot from her, and I think she learned a lot from me.

Co-teaching is like a teaching marriage, and it is important to communicate. Just like pre-marriage counseling, it is often helpful to discuss important issues before teaching!

Loudon County Public Schools developed a handbook to help teachers navigate co-teaching relationships in an interactive workbook titled Co-Teaching: A Workbook for Achieving the Perfect Union! which is available on TTAC Online. If you are co-teaching, take a minute to explore this easy-to-use workbook and reflect on how you may use its contents to build a more perfect union.

William & Mary TTAC has an easy-to-use co-teaching planning form teacher can use when collaboratively planning lessons. Co-Teaching planning form.
