Co-Planning in Co-Teaching: A Practical Solution
Pratt, Sharon M.; Imbody, Sarah M.; Wolf, Lindsay D.; Patterson, Amanda L.
Intervention in School and Clinic, v52 n4 p243-249 Mar 2017
Co-planning is considered an integral part of a successful co-teaching relationship in which both teachers have parity and use their individual expertise to benefit all students. However, the literature has not discussed adequately how co-planning is achieved within the parameters of the already full schedules of two teachers. This column shares how co-teaching partnerships can work to use individual expertise in curriculum development, teaching, and ensuring student learning to create plans that meet all students' needs. A co-planning framework used by practicing co-teachers is discussed in detail, including how to use synchronous and asynchronous tools to plan course goals, biweekly units, and daily lessons.
