Co-teaching
Co-teaching involves two (or more) equally-qualified
individuals who may or may not have the same area of
expertise (regular and special education) jointly
delivering instruction to a group of students.
In Math and Language Arts there is a co-teaching model
taking place!
We are excited to deliver this instruction because there are
many benefits which include:
– Students will have the opportunity to be taught in an
intense, individualized manner
– Differentiated instruction - meeting the needs of all the
students
Co-teaching in the Classroom
So how will this look in your student’s classroom?
– Any student could be provided instruction from either
teacher
– Both teachers share responsibility for the class
– Physical space can vary
– My role (Special Educator) does not change as far as
ensuring that my students are getting the attention and
time that is in the education plan-but can do so in an
inclusive setting.

Snacks
Students may bring a small
snack to eat mid-morning.
Snack should be easy to eat
and not require utensils as
they are expected to continue
working while they eat.
There is no sharing of snacks
or lunch items due to food
allergies and other dietary
concerns.
Miscellaneous
Personal items – toys or electronic devices should not be
brought to school as we can not guarantee they will be kept
secure at all times
Cell phones – must be turned off and kept in bookbags
- not to be used as an e-reader
E-readers – students may bring in their own e-readers
provided that parents send in a note that they have
permission to do so and that the content on the device is
grade-level and age appropriate.
Dress code – please be sure that students are dressed
appropriately (refer to the parent handbook)
