Alencia “Aqua” Pittenger September 29th, 2023 SPD-200 Professor Bird Co-teaching Interventions The concept of a co-teaching environment refers to the environment in which two teachers will work together to teach a class at the same time, in most cases one of them will represent special education and the other will represent general education. One teaching, one assisting, parallel teaching, and station teaching are all examples of the different strategies that can be used in a co-teaching classroom. The three I would use to deliver instruction in a classroom are one teaching, one assisting, and station teaching. One of the strategies used in co-teaching is a strategy known as one teaching, and one assisting. It is a strategy which is frequently used when there is a co-teaching classroom. In a typical classroom setting, one teacher takes the lead in delivering instruction, while the other walks around the classroom helping those students who may be having difficulty with it. In the example from the student profile, Jose, who has ADHD, has difficulties staying engaged and is easily distracted, as well as having difficulty staying on task. (Cassel, 2019). It is also possible for one of the teachers to watch over the child while the other is teaching in order to ensure that he stays focused and on task while the first one teaches. I think one of the best things about this strategy is that the roles can be reversed at any time; that way, the students will be able to take advantage of both teachers' expertise at any time. One teacher and one assistant participate in a 9th grade Instructional English Language Arts class that features one teacher teaching and one assistant assisting. The students are working in their writing notebooks on Pathos, Ethos, and Logos as they relate to Argumentative Writing. The teacher who is modeling each step on the board can guide the student who is having difficulty staying on task by showing the student where to write the table in the notebook without disturbing the other students while the co- teacher is helping Jose and others who are struggling to stay on task by showing them where to put the table in their notebook. As an alternative to using this method one can use it in a small group session by splitting the class into two smaller groups. One of these groups would work with the teacher in the front of the room while the other would work with the co-teacher in the back of the classroom. In my opinion, this method is one of the best that helps students with disabilities to meet their educational and psychological needs, but it requires a great deal of planning and collaboration between the teachers involved. There is another technique used in co-teaching called parallel teaching, in which the students are divided into two groups, and each teacher teaches the same lesson to the group they're in respectively. Among the students in the student profile sheet for the class I noticed some of them had trouble reading or were enrolled at a lower Lexile level than others (Cassel, 2019). Having an IEP for dyslexia, Anthony will require the lesson to be read aloud to him as he has trouble reading. In one group, those students could be placed and the teacher could tailor the lesson to meet the individual needs of the students while in another group, the other teacher might teach the same lesson in a different way in order to best meet the needs of his or her students. The teacher and co-teacher will need to work together to design the lesson in a way that the students with similar disabilities or levels are close to each other, this will help the

students with disabilities to keep up with the other students, so they don't have to struggle to keep up with them. There is also the advantage that parallel teaching gives the students more chances to ask questions when it comes to challenging or difficult material that needs to be explained. In order to differentiate instruction while teaching the same content, Morin recommends breaking a larger class into smaller groups to help differentiate instruction as part of the differentiation strategy (Morin , 2020). In this classroom, station teaching can also be used as a co-teaching strategy in order to make this learning more effective. A station can be set up by each teacher in which students work in pairs or small groups. Each station has a set task that students are required to complete. During a lesson that uses Pathos, Ethos, and Logos, for example, teachers will have their own station that breaks down what each of them is and what they can do to use them in their writing. At each station, there will be a word, its meaning, and an example, and the teacher will assist each group or pair in writing in their notebooks how the word is to be used in the planning of the essay. A station can be used by students who are stronger to enrich their learning experience, and by students who are struggling to remediate their learning experience. As a result of this, the teachers are able to bring in additional support to ensure there is enough support for each station to ensure that each student receives an individualized instruction that is customized to meet their needs. (6 Effective Co-Teaching Models, and When to Use Them, 2020) It is important to take advantage of the different stations in order to cover a greater amount of material in a shorter period of time (Morin, 2020). The goal of co-teaching is to enhance student learning in every subject, but it takes a great deal of planning and collaboration to make it work. My students' needs will be met by trying all of these different strategies in my future small groups.
