How do you ensure that your co-teaching strategies make the most of the time that you and your co-teaching partner have in the classroom? The answer is
co-planning
, which will dramatically and efficiently increase the effectiveness of your instruction.
In
Co-Planning for Co-Teaching,
author Gloria Lodato Wilson presents time-saving routines for general and special education teachers that will increase the active roles of each co-teacher and intensify instruction for students. Useful for co-teachers, administrators supervising co-teachers, and pre-service teachers, this book outlines
how to eliminate the frustration and barriers often associated with co-planning,
how to maintain the rigor of the coursework,
how best to address the needs of students, and
co-planning strategies for meeting IEP goals.
Packed with useful examples for both elementary and secondary co-teachers, Wilson's "behind-the-scenes" guidance helps co-teachers make the most of co-planning time.
