OUR TOOLS
11. Co-teaching is the instructional
arrangement in which a general education
teacher and a special education teacher
deliver core instruction along with
specialized instruction, as needed, to a
diverse group of students in a single
physical space. Co-teaching partnerships
require educators to make joint instructional
decisions and share responsibility and
accountability for student learning.
Taking from: CO-TEACHING HANDBOOK: Utah Guidelines, 2011.
