Co-Teaching: A Model for Classroom Management
![]() |
One very effective strategy to meet the needs of students with learning difficulties is co-teaching (collaborative teaching or team teaching), an instructional arrangement that involves two teachers with different expertise sharing instructional responsibility for a general education class that serves a heterogeneous group of students, some of whom have IEPs and receive special education support. |

Team teaching occurs when the two teachers share responsibility in delivering knowledge instruction, or when one teacher "shadows" the other to facilitate knowledge acquisition by students.
