Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the training and implementation of co-taught classrooms at secondary schools in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Studies have advocated the use of this special education intervention at the elementary levels; however, little research has demonstrated its effectiveness at the secondary levels. The research design chosen for this case study was qualitative (Creswell, 2015). The rationale for using this design was that it offers the ability to evaluate co-teaching practices as it relates to classroom environment and perceptions of co-teachers on the secondary level. Qualitative data was collected through Likert scale statements, open-ended questions posed in a survey, and interview questions conducted by an independent researcher (Creswell, 2015). The primary purpose of exploring the implementation of co-teaching methods at the secondary levels was to determine the inclusive models and strategies teachers use, and to evaluate the co-teaching practices as it relates to classroom environment and the perceptions of co-teaching relationships of secondary educators. A discussion regarding these findings and limitations will follow the presentation of the data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College of Education faculty members at the University of Central Missouri found that public school teachers and administrators from surrounding schools were reluctant to hand over classrooms of students to novice teachers for student teaching. With high stakes accountability for test scores, teachers voiced their need to be present in the classroom, particularly during spring semester of statewide testing (Diana, 2014). The university adopted a co-teaching model of student teaching to prepare its teaching candidates for the first year of teaching while allowing the cooperating teacher to stay in the classroom throughout the student teaching term. The problem-of-practice addressed in this study focuses on the need to determine if a co-teaching student teacher model provides university students an adequate amount of clinical experience and preparation to support a successful first year of teaching. The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) analyze the perceptions of former and current student teachers, cooperating teachers, and university supervisors on the co-teaching model of student teaching and 2) assess the model's effectiveness in preparing student teachers for their first year of teaching. To this end, the research questions are as follows: Research Question 1. What are the perceptions of University of Central Missouri current and former student teachers on the co-teaching student-teaching model's ability to prepare student teachers for their first year of teaching? Research Question 2. What are the perceptions of University of Central Missouri university supervisors on the co-teaching student-teaching model's ability to prepare student teachers for their first year of teaching? Research Question 3. What are the perceptions of cooperating teachers on the co-teaching student- teaching model's ability to prepare student teachers for their first year of teaching? The research questions were answered through an analysis of the data collected via a quantitative survey followed by a qualitative interview. The quantitative survey asked respondents to rate items on a Likert-type scale (Fink, 2013) as to how well they perceived the co-teaching model of student teaching prepares student teachers to meet Missouri Teaching Standards. The qualitative survey asked respondents to discuss their perceptions of how well the co-teaching model of student teaching prepares student teachers for their first year of teaching based on their personal experience. The responses indicated that the co-teaching model scored higher in first year teacher preparation by elementary teachers and elementary supervisors than by secondary teachers and supervisors. Responses also indicated that student teachers and cooperating teachers perceived the co-teaching model as more positively preparing student teachers for their first year of teaching than do university supervisors. Additionally, responses indicated that the co-teaching model of student teaching closely aligns to the Gradual Release of Responsibility theory of learning (Pearson & Gallagher, 1983) with the co-teaching model of student teaching strengths as follows: extensive modeling by a More Knowledgeable Other (Vygotsky, 1978), extensive professional reflection and immediate feedback, a narrowing of focus, professional collaboration, and building of confidence in the student teacher. Due to the student teacher never solely taking over the classroom responsibilities in a co-teaching model of student teaching, the model's barrier for preparing student teachers for their first year of teaching centers on the student teacher not receiving a fully realistic teaching experience in a classroom without a co-teacher. On this basis, it is recommended that universities and school districts adopt the co-teaching model of student teaching to provide a strong base of teaching background for the student teacher through the Gradual Release of Responsibility. The student teacher should also receive two to three weeks of sole classroom responsibility and all the duties in that role as to provide a realistic experience of teaching without a co-teacher present. Further research could synthesize the perceptions of the same group of participants in this study regarding a model similar to the one recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative research study was conducted in a middle class, suburban school district. The purpose of this study was to identify co-teacher perceptions of the co-teaching model. This study was designed to elicit perceptions of general and special education teachers in co-teaching partnerships concerning the impact of student performance, which models of co-teaching improve student performance, and the essential factors needed for co-teaching. Instruments used for data collection included a Likert-scale survey, semi-structured interview questions, and benchmark assessments. There were 23 participants that volunteered to complete both the pre and post surveys and 12 co-teachers that completed semi-structured interview questions. The results from this study indicated the majority of co-teachers believed both general and special education students have benefited from the co-teaching model. Co-teachers also identified the necessary factors that must be in place for co-teaching models they use on a regular basis and which models they believed improved student performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined secondary teacher and administrator perceptions of co-teaching practices as they relate to preservice and in-service training. In this mixed-methods study, general education math and English teachers and special education teachers in three suburban high schools were given a survey to provide input regarding co-teaching practices in their school/district. The survey results were analyzed to determine trends of variables relating to teacher perceptions. Additionally, interviews with four administrators (three schools and one district) were conducted to correlate expectations, strengths and weaknesses, and training with the results of the teacher survey. Multiple themes emerged, which included collaboration/planning, administrative support, volunteer/willingness, training/professional development, and relationship/trust. The results of the study showed teacher preparation programs were not consistent in providing a foundation on teaching students with disabilities, and there are weaknesses in professional development for successful co-teaching practices. Analyses of both survey and interview data provide insight into co-teaching in math and English classrooms and identify possible implications for the district’s co-teaching practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was an investigation of co-teaching and inclusion practices at the secondary level. In the explanatory sequential mixed-methods study, regular education co-teachers as well as special education co-teachers offered insights by their participation in a survey and focus groups. This study investigated co-teacher perceptions of inclusion and how their perceptions of inclusion and co-teaching influenced the extent of teacher use of elements of Dr. Friend’s co-teaching models. The study also investigated and identified the needs of co-teachers. -- Co-teaching is defined as “two or more professionals delivering substantive instruction to a diverse, or blended, group of students in a single space” (Cook & Friend, 1995, p. 1). The development and implementation of co-teaching came as a response to the 1990 revision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the requirement that students be educated in the Least Restrictive Environment (Shoulders & Krei, 2016). Co-teaching has allowed students with disabilities the opportunity to be supported by an additional teacher as they are educated in regular education classrooms alongside their typically developing peers (Hang & Rabren, 2009). If teacher attitudes and perceptions in the area of inclusion and co-teaching can be identified and articulated and those perceptions can be brought to the attention of principals and district personnel, the learning and instruction of all students in inclusion classrooms may be impacted. -- This study found that both regular and special education co-teachers had a favorable view of co-teaching and inclusion. They agreed that it is effective, and co-teaching provided more instructional intensity than teaching alone. This study also found that while One Teach/One Assist was the most used co-teaching model, Team Teaching was identified as the most ideal model for effective co-teaching. In addition, co-teachers cited content knowledge of co-teachers, compatibility of co-teachers, common planning, positive perspectives of inclusion, and training as needs for successful co-teaching.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-teaching is an accepted teaching model for inclusive classrooms. This study employed a quantitative approach to ascertain the perceptions of both students and teachers of the five most commonly used co-teaching models (i.e., One Teach/One Assist, Station Teaching, Alternative Teaching, Parallel Teaching, and Team Teaching). Additionally, using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures for statistical analysis, this study compared student responses to teacher responses to ascertain the presence of both main effects and interactions. It was found that differences in student and teacher perceptions regarding the five co-teaching models existed in specific categories and that student and teacher perceptions of the different co-teaching models were largely contradictory in specific areas.

Download or read book Co teaching Model of Student Teaching written by Ryan D. Huff and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effectiveness of the Co-Teaching Model of instruction as implemented by the University of Central Missouri (UCM) teacher education program in relation to teacher readiness, retention, satisfaction, and preparedness to complete the required tasks in the teacher certification process. In addition, the study examined the new teacher evaluation form as outlined by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MoDESE) and how equipped new teachers are in meeting the new teacher evaluation expectations. Bruffee’s (1999) work in adult learning theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. Four themes emerged from the findings of this study. These four themes are: 1) modeling, 2) relevant experiences or practice, 3) district resources/culture, and 4) scenarios. The findings and following discussion led to recommendations for university educational leaders to provide further opportunities for modeling of expected teacher behaviors, providing useful and relevant experience/practice for specific areas of suggested improvement, encouraging greater diversified experiences in the teacher preparation program to expose student teachers to the many different cultural and socioeconomic situations that are found in public schools, and providing real-world examples through role playing and scenarios. The Co-Teaching Model of student teaching has many positive aspects. These include providing positive modeling for appropriate teaching behaviors/processes, learning the skill of collaboration with peers, discovering and experiencing new and useful technological tools, and the opportunity to face difficult real-life situations.

Download or read book The Perceptions and Experiences of General and Special Education Teachers Toward Co teaching written by Sandra L. Hock and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many schools have begun implementing co-teaching involving a general and special education teacher working collaboratively together within a classroom to deliver instruction to all students within a general education classroom environment. This trend has shown progression over the last 20 years with the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) in 2004, and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2001. The purpose of this qualitative study was to research the results of studies at the elementary, middle and high school levels on the perceptions and experiences of general and special education teachers on the implementation of co-teaching and determine how these perceptions and experiences relate to implementing successful co-teaching models. Factors that will be reviewed as a part of this study are: experience, perceptions, professional development, and administrator support. The research was completed in three phases: distribution of a Likert Co-Teaching Survey, Semi-Structured Interviews and a prototype Case Study. The prototype case study was conducted in a large suburban unit school district about 50 miles west of Chicago, Illinois. The overall community population is 31,832 with a median household income of $102,987 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014). The student population of the district is 18,209 making it the 7th largest school district in the state of Illinois. The general and special education participants in this prototype case study were from one elementary school located within the district. The review of literature supports that the perceptions of general and special education teachers have a profound impact on the success of co-teaching (Gokdere, 2012), sustains the need for adequate and on-going professional development (Austin, 2001; Cook & Friend, 1995; Cramer & Nevin 2006; Danmore & Murray 2009; Friend, 2000, 2007; Idol, 2006; Scruggs, 2007), and support the need for positive administrative support for a successful co-teaching program.

Book excerpt: Co-teaching is a method of service delivery in which a special education teacher and general education teacher share the responsibilities of planning, teaching, and special education service delivery in the general education classroom. Schools in California and across the nation are working to develop models of co-teaching that are student centered and seamless in their planning and implementation. This study sought to determine if students preferred to receive instruction in a co-taught classroom and in what ways they felt most supported. The survey data indicated that students in grades seven and eight at a charter school in San Diego overwhelmingly preferred the co-taught classroom over a traditional classroom and that they felt supported by the model. The research indicates that schools should continue to use coteaching models to provide special education services in the least restrictive environment. More research is needed to determine more precisely how teachers can best support all students. Another area for further study is examining how teacher relationships are viewed by students and if challenges faced by co-teachers affect the students in their classrooms.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools are required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) to include students with disabilities in the general education classroom. Recently there has been emphasis on co-teaching as a method to comply with this mandate. Co-teaching is a technique geared at utilizing a special education teacher and a content area teacher to concurrently instruct both students with and without disabilities in the general education setting. It is well established in the literature that it is vital that together both the content area teacher and special education teacher in these settings be effectively trained to meet the needs of the students with disabilities without hindering the progress of the students without disabilities (Fleming & Bauer, 2007; Goor, 1994; Dieker, & Murawski, 2003). This study investigated the perceptions of special education and content area teachers with and without experience co-teaching of co-teaching. Twenty-two content area and fifteen special education teachers with and without co-teaching experience and currently enrolled (academic year of 2012-2013) in the graduate course of ED530 Teacher as a Researcher at Bridgewater State University responded to an 82-item survey to identify their experience and perspectives on co-teaching. Results of this study identified several features of content area and special education teachers' experience and views of co-teaching. Recommendations are offered for future research in the area of co-teaching and co-teaching professional development.
