Maryland Learning Links: Co-Teaching Part 2 by Eduarda

This video explains that the only way that co-teaching can be successful is when both teachers have equal authority and share equal responsibility for teaching all their students. Both teachers share responsibility for students' outcomes. They also emphasize flexible grouping as one of their key instruction strategies. They trade off and both work with all of their students and equally demonstrate their abilities to accommodate their diverse learning needs. In co-teaching both teachers have equal authorities in the classroom and evaluate student outcomes to help them find areas that may require re-teaching. Both teachers gain more confidence and  learn from each other when they shared their work, their skills, experiences and responsibility for the benefits of their students.
