 * Collaborative Teaching/Planning Process **
 * **Six Models of Co-Teaching: **
 * **Team teaching: **
 * Truly a 2-teacher classroom
 * Each partner brings her area of expertise (Lynn= core content/writing; Neisy= ESL learning process)
 * This is most important in planning lessons, choosing strategies/scaffolds to make content more accessible to students
 * **Parallel teaching: **
 * The class is divided into 2 groups with each teacher taking a group and teaching the same lesson
 * “shrinks” the class size and allows for more individualized attention/increased student participation
 * Successful experience-- shared revision/Important Thing
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students’ work in progress was displayed on the smart board.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The group offered ideas/opinions with respect to revision.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The piece was marked up as per author/peer suggestions and printed.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The smaller groups allowed all work to be critiqued in a shorter amount of time, with all students participating and learning from one another.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Alternative teaching: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">either teacher takes a small group for a specific instructional purpose
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">students can be ESL, or any student that needs support/individual attention (reduces stigma)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">this can be done at any point during the lesson
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student groups are a valuable instructional technique
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students support/learn from each other
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Role models (academic, language use, behavior)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Manage student behavior
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Station teaching: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Meets diverse needs of students
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Flexibility in grouping
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Successful experience-- Conferring
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Each teacher has a station where students are called individually
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student groups work independently at assigned tasks
