Cooperative Teaching
Cooperative Teaching — Second Edition
Rebuilding and Sharing the Schoolhouse
Schools in the 21st century will be quite different from their predecessors. Perhaps the most fundamental difference is that contemporary educators will work collaboratively to effectively serve diverse students in inclusive settings. The responsibility for the education of all students will be increasingly shared between two or more teachers.
While collaboration in the schools takes many forms, the “cooperative teaching” model has emerged as a particularly successful approach. In cooperative teaching, two or more educators with complementary sets of professional skills teach together in the classroom.
The second edition of Cooperative Teaching explains in a simple, practical and straightforward manner how elementary and secondary teachers can work together to better serve all the students in their classrooms. It is based on hundreds of workshops on cooperative teaching presented by the authors and provides a wealth of field-tested suggestions and activities. Each chapter from the previous edition has been substantially revised and updated to incorporate new and emerging information and skills. In addition, a special chapter has been added outlining the exciting possibilities of electronic collaboration.
