2. Do Now ◦ Please sign in ◦ Take a copy of each handout ◦ Read the first article, “ Collaborative Team Teaching: Challenges and Rewards” which we’ll use later this morning. ◦ Create a “name tent” with the large notecard

3. Agenda Easton Public Schools ◦ Introductions—Burning Questions ◦ Co-Teaching’s Positives and Concerns ◦ Co-teaching survey: What are your team’s priorities? ◦ Essential components for effective co-teaching (and the consequences if they are missing) 10:00 Break (10 minute) ◦ Co teaching models ◦ When to use each 12: 00-12:30 Lunch ◦ Co-planning Lessons and Groups ◦ Effective Group Work ◦ Using Student needs and work to develop units and organize groups ◦ Planning ◦ Agenda, Weekly planning form, Unit planning form ◦ Using student work and data to develop groups, lessons

4. High Performing Teams: It’s All About the Partnership To attain the level of a high-functioning team and to improve student achievement, both teachers must: ◦ Use multiple models to support students’ needs ◦ Have parity in planning, teaching, assessing, classroom management decisions both inside and outside the classroom ◦ But the true value added component of co-teaching comes from the partnership’s growth which will take place over time as the four areas listed below are consistently considered, critically and reflectively, during the co- teaching meetings and in the classroom. Chapman and Hyatt,

5. High-Performing Co-Teaching Team When 1 + 1+(1?)= more than 2 (or 3) Co-teachers need to have 4 ongoing critical conversations about their relationship and their classroom. Co-teachers need to consistently revisit and reflect on how they: ◦ Define the Partnership: Partners develop a shared vision, establish roles and responsibilities, and lay the collaborative foundation that may need adjusting throughout the year. ( Co-Planning is an essential ingredient.) ◦ Examine Data: Together they focus on results, use data about students to make instructional improvements and become more adept at adjusting materials and instruction to support each student ◦ Enhance Instruction: They focus on ways to provide more value as a twosome than one teacher could do alone and continue to learn together about research-based methods that work for their students ◦ Expand Impact: They recognize that they are part of a school system and that they need to have administrative support for their work together and for professional development that will support the school and the team’s capacity for improving instruction (Chapman and Hyatt 2011, 10-11).

16. Co-Teaching Models Jigsaw ◦ Count off by 5’s and get into your “expert group” ◦ Read the handout labeled with your group’s number, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. ◦ First: Use chart paper to summarize the positive uses for your model, the limitations of using this model, and illustrate (draw) how the model looks in a classroom and drawing the seating arrangement on chart paper ◦ Then: Act out with the class or use your drawing to illustrate what happens with the following 5 students: All of you are teaching a history lesson with some of the following students among your 25: 1. 3 Special education student with reading difficulties 2. A general education student with school anxiety 3.A high performing student whose parent is concerned about his being bored 4.A student who does not work well with others and sometimes refuses to work 5.A general education student who is socially skilled and loves to perform NOTE: Take notes on each model on the handout. Consider how you might use this model.

Teacher ATeacher BStrengthsPossible Concerns Model I: Supportive Co- Teaching Model One Teaches/ One Observes Directly Teaches the Whole Class Observes Good for the beginning of the Co-Teaching partnership If this method is used as the main model, Teacher B may not have an equal voice in the partnership. Can be used to develop data for the course One Teaches/ One Drifts Directly Teaches the Whole Class Drifts May be gathering data or supporting students as the needs present themselves Saves planning time if there is no common planning time Direct teaching to the whole class may become the dominant instructional model One teaches/One Assists or Supports Directly Teaches the Whole Class Assists and Supports May have developed a “support kit” Saves planning time B provides feedback about specific concerns A and B can alternate roles to provide a balance in the relationship.

Duet Model Sometimes called Team Co- Teaching Described as a “high- performing” team Teaches and supports Requires time for comprehensive co-planning, co-instructing, co- assessment, and co-teaching PD All models of co-teaching are used based upon student needs and on data analysis. Uses all of the skills of each educator. Often this capacity is a result of working and learning together over a period of time.

22. Think, Pair, Share with Co-Teacher(s) Reflect on Models ◦ Which models might you use immediately? After some planning? ◦ How would that model support student needs? ◦ Share with your co-teaching partner ◦ Which new model might you try first? Next? ◦ What are student needs that help determine the size and duration of groups or content?

Create a picture of what it means to have an independent, can­ do attitude through sharing a brief vignette about a child learning to ride a bicycle. Review the process for how to write a realistic fiction book Students review the process for how to write a fiction book collectively. Can students successfully articulate the steps for writing a realistic fiction story from the previous days lesson?

38. Teacher acts out part of first grade writer starting a new piece of writing. Model getting stuck. Model being unsure of how to solve the problem. Model self talk. ”What do I already know about writing fiction stories?“ Ask students for help to give little directions/goals for what I could do to get unstuck Students share ideas for how the teacher can get unstuck. Student Success Criteria:  Listen for students ability to give directions that encourage independence.  Students might give directions like “Make the character do something...” “Think of some trouble the character gets into…” “Think of an adventure for your character…” “Pretend to be the character…” Give students a chance to try getting started in their writing and practicing independent self ­talk. Give students time to think about the next few goals they will set for themselves and have them practice whispering them to themselves and then share them with a partner. Students practice setting goals to be independent writers, jot them on a post it and share these goals with their partners.  Listen in to students self ­talk and partnerships and review students post its to check for understanding in the lesson.

Wrap-up/Evaluation (exit slip, hand in work, observation, quiz, etc.) Students handed in their summaries. Day 2 Students begin their collection journals as a class. They select words they liked from The Boy Who Loved Words and Richard posts them on the class word wall for powerful words. Students begin their journals then break up into groups based on books that they are reading. The ELL group is together. Students select words from their books and enter them into their journals. They select 4 words to share with the class. Each student in the group picks his or her favorite word. The whole class meets and each student contributes a word for the powerful word collection.
