17What does the law say?
- Access to the General Curriculum
- Schools are required to provide access to the
general curriculum by giving students with
disabilities the opportunity to achieve the same
standards as all other students. The IDEA and
KARs stress the importance of participation of
students with disabilities in the general
curriculum. (707 KAR 1320, Section 5.
(7)(a)(b)) - In addition to IDEA, the No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001, (P.L. 107-110), seeks to ensure that
all children have a fair, equal, and significant
opportunity to obtain a high-quality education
and reach or exceed minimum proficiency on
challenging state academic achievement standards
and state academic assessments (Sec. 1001, Part
A, Title I of ESEA 20 U.S. C. 6301).
18Special Education
- Specially designed instruction, at no cost to the
parents, to meet the unique needs of the child
with a disability including instruction in the
classroom. - 707 KAR 1280(56)

20Law Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
- To the maximum extent appropriate, children with
disabilities, including children in public and
private institutions or other care facilities,
are educated with children who are not disabled,
and special classes, separate schooling, or other
removal of children with disabilities from the
regular educational environment occurs only when
the nature or severity of the disability of a
child is such that education in regular classes
with the use of supplementary aids and services
cannot be achieved satisfactorily. - IDEA Section 1412(5)(A)
21 Least Restrictive Environment

22Specially-Designed Instruction
- Adapting as appropriate the content,
methodology, or delivery of instruction to
address the unique needs of the child with a
disability and to ensure access of the child to
the general curriculum in the Program of Studies - 707 KAR 1280(58)
23Supplementary Aids and Services Are
- Aids, services, and other supports that are
provided in regular education classes or other
education-related settings to enable children
with disabilities to be educated with
non-disabled children to the maximum extent
appropriate. - 707 KAR 1280 1 (54)

30Collaborative Teaching
31Collaborative Teaching is
- An attitude of sink or swim together supporting
and enhancing each others learning.
32The Power of Two
- Each team member brings individual expertise in
unique areas and combines these skills with those
of others to creatively prevent and solve
problems within the classroom setting.
33Defining Characteristics
- Compatibility
- Based on Mutual Trust Open Communication
- Requires Sharing of Responsibilities and
Resources - Based on Mutual Goals
- Shared Accountability for Student Outcomes
34All Students are General Education students
first!!!
35Nothing clears up a case so much as stating it
to another person. Sherlock Holmes
- If needed, introduce yourselves.
- Take turns reading your fact/s.
- Briefly discuss.
- Move to next person at signal.
- Repeat Steps 1-4.
36Collaborative Teaching IS
IS NOT
- Taking responsibility for all students
- Providing every child the support and services
needed for success - Visualizing every childs learning as limitless
- Dumping children
- Watering down the curriculum
- One size fits all
- The end of specialized services
- Knowing it all
- Trading quality services for surface integration
37Collaborative Teaching IS
IS NOT
- Designing learning experiences for every child to
meet academic standards through unique and
individual means - Allowing every child to have a name, not a label
- Allowing every child a special education
- A miracle cure
- Integrating students but adults still maintain
responsibility for their own separate population - Homogeneous grouping of all at-risk students in
one classroom with two teachers
38Collaborative Teaching IS
IS NOT
- Determining what two teachers can do together
that one person cannot easily do alone - Mutual planning and evaluation of learner
outcomes and proposed strategies
- Arriving in the classroom as the plane is
leaving (i.e. collaborative teaching without
collaborative planning) - One person delivering content while the other is
solely responsible for crowd control
39Collaborative Teaching IS
IS NOT
- Determining and defining roles and
responsibilities for working together in
different capacities - Taking time to reflect on instructional
practices, roles and responsibilities - Use of effective communication and conflict
management skills
- Creating learned helplessness
- Pulling out students by disability label in the
back of the room - Parallel play where you do your thing and I do
my thing without communication - One teaches while the other takes a break

use. ( e.g. dictionaries or calculators for some
students, vocabulary cards for others) - Model appropriate behavior for class (e.g. active
listening)
94Shadow Teaching
95Skill Groups
Classroom Application
96Strategies for Skill groups
- Use a sorting of the groups based upon the
immediate instructional needs of the class. - Grouping is temporary and flexible.
- Room arrangement facilitates.
- Cooperative learning groups need routines and
structure for this to be effective. - Takes more teacher prep to do well.
- Very targeted to student need.
97Skill Groups
98Match Game
- Alternative Teaching
- Station Teaching
- Parallel Teaching
- 1 Teach/1 Observe
- Speak and Add (also can be called Tag Teaming)
99- Scenario 1
- In Math today, we need to do three things (1)
re-teach long division (2) work on steps for
solving a word problem (3) and practice making
change. Lets set up two teaching stations and an
independent station where students can work in
pairs making change.
100- Scenario 2
- I think the students will understand this
science experiment better if they can get closer,
see better and are able to talk more informally
about what is going on. We have 25 students in
this class. What if we divide them in half and
do the same experiment in two different parts of
the room. We can answer questions and have the
students to their lab reports in these smaller
groups. I think it would give more opportunities
for the students to interact with the experiment
and each other. And we can monitor their
learning better.
101- Scenario 3
- Place value is really difficult for about 6
students in this class. Those 6 still need to
work with manipulatives. The rest of the
students are ready to move on to two digit
addition problems with carrying. Why dont I
take the small group and be sure they have
learned place value, while you move ahead with
the larger group.
102- Scenario 4
- A few students are not doing well in this
class. I know that Sam is not handing in his
homework, so that is most probably the reason why
he is failing. Ben and Jennifer are not
participating at all. When youre teaching, why
dont I collect some data on what they are doing
during class time? Ill call Sams parents to
discuss the homework issue.
103- Scenario 5
- The students need some extra practice crafting
opening sentences that grab the reader. Why
dont we play a game with them where we both make
up opening sentences about a particular topic,
like my favorite birthday or a day with my pet.
We can have the students vote on the one they
like the best and tell why.
104Planning
- The Collaborative team needs to have planning
time to meet, plan, problem solve, and develop
instructional programs - Team members must not only have time to meet and
problem solve or plan, they must use the time
effectively
105Co-Teaching Planning Process
- Before Meeting General Ed teacher gathers key
curriculum information - During Meeting General Ed and Special Ed
teachers decide Co-teaching approaches, determine
student grouping/s, pinpoint potential
difficulties for students, and discuss individual
students - After Meeting Special Ed teacher prepares
materials to meet students unique needs,
determines alignment with IEP goals, prepares
learning process

106Planning
- Common Planning
- Look for macro-planning at a minimum of once per
month (every 3 to 4 weeks) - Start with instruction for entire class
- Develop a communication system

107Planning on the Fly
- Between Common Planning
- During Bell-ringers
- Fast Talk
- Wiki (with caution)

- Keep your sanity
- Collaborative planning is essential
- Combination of services is not a bad thing
- Flexibility is important!!
132Scheduling for Collaborative Teaching
- Compile a list of Special Needs students for each
grade level. - Group students based on IEP/LRE ( needing
collaboration/resource) - Determine the number of classes needed to be
offered to meet the number of students - Begin with one grade level of students and map a
schedule offering each class - Plug in students to be sure that each student can
move through the schedule and take each class
based on IEP recommendations. - Repeat process with next grade level
