1. Co-Teaching; Where do I start? Carlota Holder cholder1@warren.k12.in.us Jess Bell jbell@warren.k12.in.us MSD Warren Township @carlota_holder @jessbell79 @maestracarlota @bellsclassroom

2. Before you start … (discussions to have) student behavior expectations grading growth mindset/fixed intelligence accommodations/modifications - what ones will be used, who will be responsible for doing/making them academic and behavior consequences establishing goals and appropriate assessment

3. What is Co-teaching (Co-teaching strategies) Team teaching - both teachers are responsible for planning and delivering instruction to all students One teach/ one supports Parallel teaching - plan jointly but split class Alternative teaching - one teaches most of the class but another teaches a small group inside or outside of the room Station teaching - teachers divide instructional content and take responsibility for teaching part of it, room is divided in centers

4. Co- Teaching Strategies

5. SIOP - Sheltered Instruction for Academic Progress SIOP is an instructional model that helps all students- especially English Language Learners - master academic content and language. It supports teachers in planning and delivering high-quality instruction for all students. Components include; lesson preparation, building background, strategies, interaction, practice, and assessment. If your district hasn’t provided SIOP training, we recommend it for all teachers - EL and content.

6. Planning ●Use a Unit Guide ○Plan in increments ●Use a shared planning template ○Equal access, ALL the time (google docs) ●Break the standards down. ○Use MPI’s (WIDA standards) ●Start basic - reach towards goal ●Skills used in small groups ○Designate teacher/assistant that will lead ●Anchor Charts ○done in advance to help instruction

12. The struggle is real. Work with what you have.

13. Implementing (classroom instruction) Different models could be used for different lessons/objectives FLEXIBLE - you never know when your plans can change Establish clear roles Lead teacher, small group instructor, circulator, one-on- one instructor, parallel teacher Each teacher is aware of lesson plan so timing is not an issue

14. Hands-on Practice Find a partner Choose a co-teaching style. Mock plan a lesson with your “co-teacher”. Use the handouts to plan an effective co-teaching lesson.

15. Implementation - Technology 1:1 Chromebooks Raz-Kids No Red Ink Duolingo Schools Achieve 3000 Google Classroom Gooru Actively Learn Scholastic SCOPE and Action EDpuzzle Mobymax The best resources to use for EL students are ones that are adaptive or at your students’ level. It encourages independence, but makes them feel successful.

16. Communication; In person or digital? Digital effective once established less time-consuming share resources give each teacher responsibilities have to depend on other to complete responsibilities copy of your plans tone can be misinterpreted In person effective communication starting out time-consuming chance to bounce ideas off each other create together plan long term ideas/goals you get to know each other

17. Assessment ●Formal ○District and State Assessments ○District Checkpoints ○Teacher created assessments ■amplify them instead of simplify them ●Informal ○More opportunities to talk with students ○SIOP strategies for students to interact - teacher observation ○Small Group instruction is easier with two teachers ○Personalized Conferencing
