Co-Teaching
Two teachers working together, sharing students.
Each of the co-teachers had different strengths and learned from each other. They were able to help each other out.
Through this collaboration, they developed new skills and strategies.
New Teachers
When teachers enter the field, they have a lot of expectations.
New teachers need to be encouraged to ask for support.
Realize that you can't know it all from the beginning.
Teachers often feel isolated.
This is a recipe for frustration as they can snuggle with demands around lesson planning and curriculum.
When they are getting started in the classroom, it is helpful to have in classroom experience setting up a classroom and learning teaching systems.
Another challenge is differentiating lessons for student interests and level of difficultly.
