This volume examines teacher preparation programs that have successfully used a co-teaching model to improve the clinical experience for teacher candidates and to instill a disposition for equitable practice. Co-teaching in K–12 classrooms is a well-established practice, especially in inclusive settings, but it is far less common in teacher education programs. Blending research and practitioner voices, this book presents co-teaching as a viable and valuable framework that provides support for teacher candidates, allowing them to grow and learn through reciprocal relationships. Offering their experiences and perspectives, chapter authors share promising practices for centering equity in co-teaching situations. Co-Teaching in Teacher Education challenges teacher preparation programs to prepare educators to work together to support all students in today’s diverse classrooms.

“This is the first book of its kind to center equity in the research and practice of co-teaching in educator preparation. My colleagues have done an amazing job of highlighting how this research has informed their practice by providing tangible, research-based suggestions. It is through community and collaboration that we, as a collective, will prepare high-quality teachers who are skilled in working with a wide range of students and who remain in the field long term. I so appreciate my colleagues’ commitment to centering equity through co-teaching in educator preparation.”
