Additionally, co-teaching provides teachers with regular opportunities for collaboration, expertise sharing and reflection. When executed as a mutually beneficial and valued partnership, co-teaching should be considered asan effective professional development model for teacher enhancement.  \nToday’s educators faced the heavy responsibility of educating students with a wide range of abilities and needs in their classrooms. Schools are becoming more and more diverse, and the task of providing each student with individualized programing that meets each specific need is avery daunting task. Dedicated teachers spend countless hours planning for their students; and yet many feel that they have only scratched the surface with regards to meeting the needs in their classrooms. In the face of this seemingly unattainable task, teachers are often evaluated on their ability to meet the needs of each learner in their classrooms, through their planning, instruction, and assessment practices. Administrators often find themselves in supervisory positions, where they are expected to observe and evaluate teachers’ abilities to achieve this goal, while also providing professional development opportunities to assist teachers in developing their abilities and increasing their capacities to meet the evolving needs of their students. Finding effective professional learning opportunities can be a challenge, given the unique characteristics of each teacher’s classroom, experience, and needs. One style of professional learning that has proven to be successful for many teachers is known as the coteaching model; this model has taken on many forms throughout the years, but it is founded on the premise that two teachers work together to teach a group of students, while sharing the responsibilities of planning, delivering, and assessing the instruction, as well as organizing the physical space (Bacharach & Heck, 2007; Friend & Cook, 2004; Kamens, Susko, & Elliott, 2013) . This article explains the co-teaching model, discusses ways in which co-teaching provides an opportunity for teacher enhancement, and identifies some considerations for improving the success of co-teaching as an effective professional development tool.  \nCo-teaching is an idea that has been around for decades; as early as the 1960’s, educators have been exploring the possibilities of this collaborative teaching model (Cook & Friend, 1995) . The model of co-teaching has changed and evolved through the years, from a team-teaching model in which teachers share the responsibilities of instruction and assessment while continuing to teach separately, to a collaborative and shared teaching experience in which both professionals co-plan, co-instruct, and co-assess a group of students (Kamens et al. , 2013) . In the latter model, instruction is provided by both teachers on a consistent basis, such that neither teacher is considered the main teacher of the class (St. Cloud State University, 2012b) . The latter model is also characterized by the understanding that co-teachers are “peers with equivalent credentials and status in the classroom   [and] are partners in the instructional process on behalf of all of their students”(Simmons & Magiera, 2007, p. 2) . This shared delivery model of instruction is the focus of the term “co-teaching” in the remainder of this paper.  \nThrough a variety of different methods, including (but not limited to) supportive co-teaching in which one teacher takes a lead role while the other teacher provides support, parallel coteaching in which both teachers instruct two different groups of students at the same time, and complementary co-teaching in","cbCaigW9fSmpsVUo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigW9fSmpsVUo","pdf",218676,"English","# Abstract\n# Co-Teaching Model Overview\n## Historical Development\n## Shared Delivery and Roles\n# Co-Teaching Methods and Instructional Impact\n## Supportive, Parallel, and Complementary Approaches\n## Differentiation and Classroom Climate\n# Effects on Student Achievement","[{\"question\":\"What is the core premise of the co-teaching model?\",\"answer\":\"Co-teaching is based on two teachers working together to plan, deliver, and assess instruction while organizing the physical space for a group of students.\"},{\"question\":\"How does co-teaching support teacher professional development?\",\"answer\":\"It creates regular opportunities for collaboration, expertise sharing, and reflection, which helps teachers build capacity to meet students’ diverse needs.\"},{\"question\":\"What co-teaching methods are discussed in the document?\",\"answer\":\"The document mentions supportive co-teaching, parallel co-teaching, and complementary co-teaching as different ways to share instructional responsibilities.\"}]","Co-Teaching: An Effective Professional Development Tool - Teacher Enhancement | PDF",1792082204]
