  Parallel teaching  Stations  One teach, one assist  Alternative teaching  Team teaching  One teach, one observe Models of Co-teaching

 Parallel Teaching  Always have General Educator introduce new concepts  The same activity is occurring in 2 locations  Helps decrease student to teacher ratio

 Stations  Reviewing already introduced topics  Smaller teacher/student ratio  Usually 3 to 4; 1 or 2 independent stations  Teacher can be doing direct instruction with smaller group while you are reviewing or doing recursive

 One teach, one assist  During independent practice  Attention should not be taken from the lead teacher, or direct instruction  Intention is to help overcome barriers in the instruction

 Alternative Teaching  Similar to small group pull-out, but in the room  Used for recursive teaching, or supplementing needed skills

 Team Teaching  Both adults add to instruction; give and take with information  Offers more than one perspective

 One teach, one observe  Can observe individual student/ students  Collect data during specific tasks  Assess if certain supports or presentation of instruction is successful  Used for future planning

  Instructional assistants need to be aware of accommodations and Supplementary Aids/ Services  May be a good idea to have a common place documents can be accessed within the inclusion classrooms (confidential but need to be used as a resource) IEP Knowledge

 Accommodations An accommodation is a change that helps a student overcome or work around the disability. Example: Allowing a student who has trouble writing to give his answers orally is an example of an accommodation.  Used for instruction and testing.

  Human Reader or Audio Recording for Verbatim Reading of Entire Test: I, A  Screen Reading Software: I, N/A  Notes and Outlines: I, N/A

 Human Reader or Audio Recording for Verbatim Reading of Entire Test: I, A Screen Reading Software: I, N/A Notes and Outlines: I, N/A Student is reading below grade level and struggles with making his handwriting legible. He performs best when text is read aloud to him and when he can highlight notes which are provided to him in class as opposed to generating notes on his own. Student will be provided with outlines and notes before each lesson in all classes so that he can focus attention on instruction.
