Co-Teaching Essential Question

~Murawski & Spencer, 2011

How is what two teachers do together substantively different and ultimately better for students than what one teacher would have done alone?

Substantively Different or Better

• Co-planning allows for more creativity, innovation
• Learning objectives are well thought out and easy to communicate
• Opportunity to think through and plan for learner variability more thoroughly (what is necessary for some is good for all)
• Lighten the Load - share in communicating with students/families, in developing materials, in providing feedback
• Two Sets of Eyes are Better Than One
• Opportunity for more immediate feedback to students
• ???

Start With What Worked Before

Questions to Ask:

• Why was this important?
• How did this benefit our students?

In this new environment:

• What could it mean to do this differently?
• What options are available?
• Who might be left out?

Communication & Collaboration

• Why was this important?
• How did this benefit our students?
• What could it mean to do this differently?
• What options are available?
• Who might be left out?

​

​

• Co-Teaching Partners

​

• Students/Families

​

• Professional Community

Engagement

• Why was this important?
• How did this benefit our students?
• What could it mean to do this differently?
• What options are available?
• Who might be left out?

​

​

• Structures & Systems
• Groupings
• Delivery
• Choice

Planning & Design

• How can we chunk information into smaller, more meaningful bites?
• What is so important that it would be tragic if they did not learn it?
• Are we offering choice and voice?
• Are we incorporating enough off-line options?
• What is necessary for some is good for all.

Differentiation:

• How does the student learn at home?
• Options for access points and participation.
• Can we incorporate interests?
