Co-instructing represents another critical element in the co-teaching cycle. So what exactly is "co-instructing"? We define co-instructing as two or more teachers actively engaging together in enacting the lesson that was co-planned with attention on instructional goals, analysis of student learning, instructional tasks, instructional tools, and assessment plan.  

Note: We use the term co-instructing, which is often referred to as co-teaching. 

We make this distinction to highlight the role of co-instructing as one element of the cycle of co-teaching.
