PLO Attended:

• Integrated Co-Teaching: Using Data to Drive Instruction, K-12

Coached by:

• Ann Nichols

PLO Goals

• To distinguish between the six models of co-teaching and better select models to address our diverse population of learners
• Learn how to effectively as cooperating teachers
• To assess our strengths and weaknesses as individuals and determine how we can work best as a partnership

PLO Learnings

• Recognize the six models of co-teaching and how to select appropriate models for our students and each content area
• Evaluate ourselves and our partnership to identify areas of growth
• Analyze students Present Levels of Performance (PLOP) and use this information to create implications for delivery of instruction

Implementation of Techniques and Practices

• We tried implementing Station Teaching
• First co-planned to create a cohesive and comprehensive system
• Implemented for an entire unit
• Compared unit test scores from Pre-Station Teaching to Post-Station teaching

Impact

• Students use manipulatives more frequently
• Increase in math dialogue between students
• More developed written responses explaining how students solved problems
• More differentiated instruction cognitively challenging each student

Conclusion

• Station teaching allowed us to be more flexible in meeting the needs of each student and achieving our learning targets
• Overall increase in student scores on unit exams
• Increase in:
  • Student engagement
  • Cognitive challenge
  • Differentiation
• Students enjoy math more as observed by student testimonial
