1 Co- Teaching Methods in the Classroom Annika Halcomb Athens State University Survey of Exceptional Learners Mrs. Carlisle Haskovec January 28, 2024
2 Every student in a classroom is different. They all have different ways of learning and utilizing information. Due to this, teachers have to take different approaches in their teaching methods. There are many different methods of teaching that can be used, and teachers may have to experiment with a few different ones to find out what works best for them and their classes. Three of these methods include: One Teach, One Observe; Station Teaching, and Parallel Teaching. One Teach, One Observe A teacher will lead the main lesson while a co-teacher watches quietly and observes the students. They can focus their attention on a few students or the whole class. A few students may be observed for social or behavioral concerns or the entire class for comprehension. This can allow for teachers to observe students’ natural behaviors in the classroom or monitor progress up close. It is also a good method to determine potential disabilities that may want to be taken to a professional. There is also the potential that the class may grow distracted by the fact that there is another teacher, especially if they know they are observing. Some traits or behaviors in students may be missed as well if only a few select students are being monitored. The teachers should take turns teaching and observing so that one doesn’t feel less important and so they both get equal opportunities in lecture time. The object(s) of the observation should be determined before the class begins, and what was noted should be discussed afterwards. The teachers can discuss how to handle any problems that were noticed or how to move forward in the classroom with any new issues. They can also determine what to watch for next time. This method should be used once a week if needed or after a new concept is introduced. It can also be used sparingly for if any behavioral issues are noticed or if any students are seen to be struggling in areas.
