What is co-teaching in student teaching? Enables two professionally-prepared adults to collaborate in the classroom, actively engaging students for extended periods of time. Allows increased opportunities to get help when and how the teacher candidate needs it. Affords teachers opportunities to incorporate co- teaching strategies, grouping and educating students in ways that are not possible with just one teacher.
