Why co-teaching is important to Kevin Carter.

 I am currently an EAL (English as an Additional Language) teacher. The hardest part of my job is to gain access to the mainstream classroom. At a philosophical level, I do not believe in a pull-out model of intervention. I believe that with proper collaborative planning, most of the students' needs can be addressed within the classroom. This is why I have joined this collaborative effort to learn more about effective co-teaching. I hope that by sharing what we have learned, mainstream teachers will become more open to true collaboration for the betterment of all students.
