What are the benefits of co-teaching..?
Teachers Two heads are better than one Teachers collaborate to share their expertise and skills More instructional time on learning because
teachers can divide whole class into smaller parts
Shared student responsibilities Learning from each other never ends: content expert and a content/strategy expert
Benefits of Co-teaching for Students
Students Instructional time is sustained because students
are not leaving the classroom for “special help” – Support is totally geared toward the class/subject
matter content with the entire class Students benefit from the teaching style of
two teachers Co-teachers serve as role models to students
by demonstrating healthy adult interaction
Students will read a variety of literature
Students will develop their writing skills
Students will develop their speaking and listening skills
Students will develop vocabulary
Silent Sustained Reading (SSR)
SSR is an English Dept. initiative to encourage students to experience the love of literature by enjoying a book for leisure purposes.
Each class begins with SSR
We are encouraging students to bring in books they want to read.
“All Summer in a Day” – Ray Bradbury
“The Last Leaf” - O. Henry
“Mother Tongue” - Amy Tan Woodsong - Gary PaulsenCat’s Eye- Margaret Atwood
This Boy’s Life - Tobias Wolfe
“The Echoing Green” – William Blake
“Richard Cory” - Edwin Arlington Robinson
“Best Friends” - Sharon Olds“The Names” by Billy Collins
How do our age and experience influence our thinking?
To what extent can you really know someone?
What makes a good friend? What makes something tragic?
