This course is designed to provide teacher candidates with an understanding of collaborative and co-teaching models and prepare them to implement these models in their schools and classrooms. While co-teaching can be a rewarding experience for teacher candidates and professionals, understanding its elements and foundations are critical in creating a positive learning environment for students. Co-teaching requires not only pedagogical skill on the part of the participating educators, but also a willingness to share and collaborate in the education of all students in the classroom.
