What will you apply from the
co-teaching presentation?
I don’t co-teach but I think that I can
use some of these tools or models
when I have the media specialist in or
have a parent volunteer, guest
speaker, etc.
The different strategies given will be
helpful for any co-teaching situation.
What else do you need to successfully
co-teach?

I feel a video of each style would be
helpful. This will help the visual
learners as well as concrete evidence
of it being successful.

It was nice to be refreshed on all of the different models. It is very easy to

special ed teacher; MacTaggart and I
plan to do a co-taught lesson for her
SS classes.
Take co-teaching strategies and make
them singular for solo teaching
I will use a couple of these models
instead of “teaching on the fly.”
Well, you’d get more honest feedback if
we didn’t have to put our names on
this.
Carmen and I will co-teach a lesson.
I will use these tools to check the tools
I am already using. Also, any student
teacher I will have will have a real
resource to help them understand
what co-teaching is all about.
I will incorporate the co-teaching
models more effectively. I will use our
math specialist to facilitate more of
these approaches.
Help to set up co-teaching models next
year. Have definite name and ideas of
co-teaching models
I learned many things that I hadn’t
even thought of! If I co-teach next
year, I would begin with the SHARE
form and definitely use the planning
form. I think setting both teachers up
for success will greatly benefit all
learners and eliminate many
negatives.
Try different co-teaching models to see
which are most effective with current
co-taught group; attempt to implement
a planning form
Definitely change the co-teaching
models according to strategies,
objectives, etc. Sometimes only 1
model is used, which probably is the
main reason why some co-teachers
have difficulties.
Keep it as a resource in case I get a cotaught class in the future
What else do you need to successfully

I learned how to utilize different
co-teaching models as needed for
activities. I learned how to ask the
right questions to be on the same page
as the co-teacher.
I would apply today’s presentation by
organizing and implementing a cotaught lesson.

I would need a co-teacher and
planning time to review with the coteacher.
8th grade team
What will you apply from the
co-teaching presentation?
My co-teacher and I meet weekly and
I’d like to use the co-teaching form in
our meetings. I will target the
objectives before-hand and ask my coteacher her opinion in effectively
teaching the students and splitting up
responsibilities.
The different models of teaching and
planning options were most useful.
I probably will not change anything
this year. Circumstances have
dictated which model we use (parallel
teaching, but I do all the planning).
When I go into classrooms to do
stations, fill out planning form for
documentation. Use wikispaces to
gather more information
Do more grouping with MI class (when
or if there is time to plan)
I like the planning form. I think it can
be useful when I start
co-teaching.
Try to find/create consistent schedule
