Co-teaching is a service delivery model in which teachers are paired together in a classroom to share the responsibilities of planning, instructing, and assessing ALL students. Both teachers are responsible for the academic success of ALL students.
At MCPS, we utilize five models of co-teaching, station teaching, parallel teaching, team teaching, alternative teaching, and one teach, one support. The various co-instructional approaches are tools to help co-teachers meet the needs of their students. Having a common language saves time in planning by providing a structure for determining who will do what, with whom, when, and how. What is most important is that students are being given the most appropriate and effective instruction the two teachers can provide.
