Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) Supports
FHS Co-Teaching Vision
Co-teachers are utilized thoughtfully and strategically so that students can benefit in many ways, such as:
Students feel safe, valued and believe they can succeed when their co-teachers provide conditions for success. In truly inclusive and culturally responsive classrooms, students learn to place value on difference.
When exposed to the different perspectives, knowledge and skills of each co-teacher, students have a richer learning experience.
With a lower student to teacher ratio, co-teachers have increased opportunity to get to know each student well, to diagnose specific needs and to provide responsive instruction.
When students need support, the teachers are able to provide it using differentiated groupings. Students are not left behind.
Students are challenged to engage in higher levels of learning as they are ready.
Students are engaged in the learning because it is relevant to their interests and needs.
