 * One Teach One Observe**
 * Not to be used all the time
 * Good for RTI!!!
 * Observe whole class or just a student
 * Observe strengths and weaknesses
 * Evaluate if a strategy is working
 * Ok to tell kids what is going on


 * One Teach One Assist**
 * Very important to co-plan
 * One person does primary instruction
 * In planning - one person is expert on content - other is expert on delivery
 * Not primary approach - use only small amount of time
 * Danger include the assister - becoming a distracter


 * Station Teaching**
 * May need to break it down for students to know how to work independently
 * Allows for students to work independently
 * Allows students to get the attention and direct instruction that they may need especially for LD students


 * Parallel Teaching**
 * Requires that both people know the curriculum as they are both teaching
 * TA's can come in handy here
 * Can split up students who don't get along or are disruptive
 * Good way to model collaberative work - shows that both people are equally qualified
 * PLAN PLAN PLAN - far ahead of time so that non-content teacher can learn content


 * Alternative Teaching**
 * Meet a wide range of needs
 * Allows for students needs to be met
 * Need to make sure have time to plan so that while teachers are doing their teaching they are teaching same things, have same goals - but diff strategies
 * Individual instruction is good
 * Allows for good classroom management - or to pull some kids aside to help with classroom management
 * Can create stigmatization of kids...those are the small group kids
 * Kids that are in group should change - rotate
 * Multiple ways to break up group - make sure you change it up


 * Team Teaching**
 * Shared responsibility is equal - need to both take responsibility
 * Work together as a tag team - cooperation in the classroom
 * This is the best model - what co-teaching can be - what you should strive for
 * Allows for most creativity, most fun - but requires lots of time over years...
