This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Education Services in the United States are moving toward more inclusive education. Legal guidelines surrounding Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) will continue to push districts and schools to increase LRE over the next decade. Discussions and decisions on how to provide inclusive education will inevitably interrogate the co-teaching model. The purpose of this research is to analyze in what ways the utilization of a co-teaching model impacts student attitudes, perceptions and student grades within the ELA classroom. While inclusive education follows an ethical imperative, co-teaching is not a research-based practice to be used as a model for inclusive education. More research is needed to validate the use of co-teaching in districts and schools. A qualitative case study utilizing a bounded system was employed, with homogenous sampling used to select participants involved in the co-taught program. An open-ended qualitative questionnaire in conjunction with an analysis of students grades across two years was used to collect data. Results were analyzed for themes and compared to previous research. Results suggested that co-teaching provides a positive impact on student wellbeing. Grade analysis indicated a positive impact on the academic achievement of Students with Disabilities (SWD) and Students Without Disabilities (SWOD). The need for more research into the impact of co-teaching on the educational needs of students remains. While studies suggest the positive impact of co-teaching on academic achievement, too many variables exist in this research to validate the practice. Additionally, there is little research into the social emotional or behavioral impacts of co-teaching. This study concluded that co-teaching has the potential to meet the educational needs of students and provide a beneficial model for inclusive education. By implementing co-teaching with rigor and goal driven data analysis, districts and schools could continue to build the data necessary to validate co-teaching as a research-based practice.

Book excerpt: Co-teaching is an equal partnership between a special education teacher and a general education teacher. They share a classroom and responsibilities for teaching all students in the class. But what does co-teaching look like? How does it work? Are we doing it right? Finding the answers to these questions is critical to the effectiveness of a co-teaching program that is grounded in inclusive educational practices. In this book, you'll learn how co-teachers * Define what effective co-teaching is and what it is not; * Engage students in evolving groups, using multiple perspectives for meaningful learning opportunities; * Resolve differences in teaching and assessment practices; * Respond to parents and students about inclusion and co-teaching concerns; and * Organize and teach an equitable, inclusive classroom.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examined the co-teaching method of instruction for students with disabilities in the inclusion classroom setting. Quantitatively, the study sought to explore the impact of co-teaching on student achievement growth and performance. Achievement growth and performance was measured using STAR scores and TCAP assessment scores. Qualitatively, the researcher investigated teacher beliefs and attitudes toward co-teaching using a survey including Likert-scale and open-ended questions. Co-teaching was found to be beneficial, since both special education students and general education students made equal academic progress in the inclusion classroom. A teacher perception survey provided the researcher with insight into the benefits, challenges, and beliefs about co-teaching.

Download or read book Educator Attitudes Toward Middle and Secondary School Co teaching written by Jenna M. Koster and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With current federal mandates in place, school districts have faced challenges in ensuring all students receive access to the general education curriculum (Cook, Chamberlain, Friend & Shamberger, 2010; Murawski & Dieker, 2013). To aid in alleviating requirements of federal mandates, many school districts have implemented the inclusion model of co-teaching to ensure special educations students are receiving access to the general education curriculum at least 80% of their school day (Friend, 2018; Murawski & Dieker, 2013). However, co-teaching has many misconceptions, specifically regarding teacher and administrator attitudes (Cook et al., 2010; Friend, 2018; Harris, 2014; Murawski & Dieker, 2013). This embedded mixed methods study investigated and explored attitudes of stakeholders regarding co-teaching. Co-teaching is multi-faceted and therefore is recommended to be implemented incrementally to address any misconceptions tied to the inclusion model. The study explored the dimensions of co-teaching tied to the components of cognitive, behavioral and affective attitude (Boehner & Schwartz, 2001; Breckler, 1984). The embedded mixed methods study addressed seven research questions; five quantitative and two qualitative. During the quantitative phase, a questionnaire was administered to all building level administration, guidance counselors and teachers in grades 6-12 within a school district in the Northeast. The quantitative survey was distributed to investigate stakeholder attitudes regarding co-teaching. In the qualitative phase, four interviews were conducted to explore and interpret the attitudes’ of stakeholders in regards to the data from the quantitative survey. The findings from this embedded mixed methods study included the need for administrative support, continuous professional development, intentionality behind scheduling, and understanding the instructional model to effectively benefit all students. The results from this study may benefit school leaders, guidance counselors, and teachers in identifying the supports needed to create an effective co-teaching model, which in turn may lead to student academic success and may help close the achievement gap that exists between special education students and general education students.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of the study is to determine if there [are] any benefits to using a variety of instructional methods in a collaborative setting and if the teaching methods significantly improve student achievement in science. Collaborative teachers are faced with challenges when implementing differentiated-instructional delivery methods in an inclusive classroom to meet the needs of a diverse group of students with a variety of learning disabilities. With the rise of students requiring inclusive services in our public school's classrooms, there is a great deal of interest in the co-teaching models of instruction. Even though co-teaching has been considered the most appropriate method of instruction, teachers often have difficulties implementing the necessary strategies. Therefore, collaborative teachers must share in their instructional delivery methods and assessments to ensure that all children have an equal opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Before the general education teachers can instruct these students, they must ensure that they have familiarized themselves with the student's specific learning disabilities. The data was collected for six weeks using the Measure of Academic Progress, classroom observations, and formative and summative common assessments. The data indicated that students will exhibit growth in their science content, when multiple instruction strategies are implemented."--Page 6
