What is Co-Teaching??

Are two teachers better than one? YES!! This year our classroom will be following the co-teach model. Over the past few years co-teaching has become more popular as schools need to comply with Classroom Size Reduction. This year, Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Thompson will be sharing all classroom duties together. Together we can lower the student-teacher ration and provide differentiated instruction in a manner that is not possible for one teacher. When teachers share the responsibility of instruction, lessons are more creative because two people are planning them. I think it will be nice to have another adult in the room to be able to provide a range of support to students and to share those "a-ha" moments. Looking forward to a great year!
