Co-Teaching is generally defined as two licensed educators, often a special education teacher, reading specialist, or EL specialist and a general education teacher, sharing equal responsibility for planning, delivering, and evaluating instruction, and learning to meet the diverse needs of students in a shared space. One goal of this inclusive instructional model is to increase the likelihood of equitable student outcomes by capitalizing on the expertise of both educators. It also allows for more personalized instruction to occur within the classroom. Both professional learning sessions and coaching are available.
