The six (6) co-teaching models will be covered on this page along with videos from California State University, Chico, that show how the approach is used in the classroom. Let's first clarify what co-teaching is. Co-teaching is the technique of matching teachers in a classroom to divide the duties of lesson design, student instruction, and assessment, according to CAST (n.d.). Teachers are held equally accountable and responsible for the classroom in a co-teaching environment. As part of an effort to make classrooms more inclusive, general education and special education teachers are frequently placed together to practice co-teaching. The six co-teaching approaches will be briefly discussed in the video below, which was provided by Quezada (2022), and the links below will offer an in-depth discussion of the co-teaching model's advantages and disadvantages in the classroom. After all, co-teaching models are designed for a more efficient way in supporting students in the classroom.
