Perceptions of the co-teaching experience: Examining the views of teaching staff and students

Harper, Cary L.

Abstract Details

2009, Masters in Education, Marietta College, Education.
With the push toward inclusion in public schools, districts are turning toward the co-teaching model of instruction to meet the many needs of special education students in regular education classes. Teachers involved in this shift are forced into environments in which they are sharing classrooms for the first time. Both teachers involved are required to balance instructional roles while building a relationship in front of the students. Collaboration is essential to effective co-teaching. This study investigated teaching staff and student perceptions of the co-teaching environment during the first year of the implementation of the program. The researcher distributed surveys to co-teaching teams and their students in a high school as a means of assessing the program. This study is to help educators in that school and similar situations maximize effectiveness of the co-teaching experience.
