What to expect on your Co-plan/Co-teach Day

• 1. Teacher and Coach will spend approx. 40-60
  minutes co-planning.  The teacher comes to the
  co-plan with the lesson planned and the teacher
  and coach analyze the lesson and decide how to
  best weave in the 8 characteristics of DII.  It
  is crucial the teacher has the lesson already
  planned.  Also, during co-plan the teacher and
  coach negotiate who will be delivering each part
  of the lesson. 
• 2. During the co-teach the teacher and coach
  deliver the lesson together assisting each other
  throughout under the predetermined procedures
  established in the co-plan.  We usually spend
  40-50 minutes co-teaching the lesson.
• 3. During the debrief of the lesson, the teacher
  and coach reflect upon the success of the DII
  lesson by identifying evidence of the 8
  characteristics of DII. 
• 4. Teacher and Coach make a game plan for next
  steps.
