Co-teaching and Collaboration in the Classroom

Co-teaching and Collaboration in the Classroom: Strategies for Success, 2nd Edition

by Susan Fitzell M. Ed.

Find strategies to work through personality differences between educators that can obstruct successful collaboration. Learn how to set up Fitzell Acceleration Centers© that address the needs of a variety of students without singling out one particular group.

Never heard of a Fitzell Acceleration Center? Follow explicit instructions on how to set up one in your classroom, and then begin implementation by engaging students in flexible grouping. The result is a more motivated, accomplished, and well-behaved class. It also utilizes the talents of the co-teachers so students who require more one-on-one instruction receive it.

This edition includes the benefits and challenges of each co-teaching model as well as how to choose which model to use. There are suggestions on how to incorporate differentiated instruction into the co-teach model. Also, instructions for MSWord 2007 were included where appropriate. Many record-keeping chart templates are provided along with helpful follow-up questions to activities and conflict resolution scripts. The goal of any co-teaching situation is to reach more student learning styles, and this book succeeds at offering practical options for doing so.
