The ADE Co-Teaching Project is
designed to provide support to schools interested in implementing
a new co-teaching program or improving an existing one. Support
is provided through comprehensive training, technical assistance,
and informational resources.
What
is Co-Teaching? |
It is an instructional delivery approach in which a classroom
teacher and a special education teacher (or other special
services professional) share responsibility for planning,
delivering, and evaluating instruction for a group of students,
some of which have exceptional needs.
Successful implementation of the Co-Teaching model
requires careful implementation planning and oversight as
well as training with follow-up support for the educators
involved. Use the resources below to assist you in
learning about Co-Teaching initially as well as to increase
the effectiveness of an existing program.
Note: Format of information varies and some resources
will require access to Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), and Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF). A free PDF reader
can be downloaded from
