Description+

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.

Book Features:

  • ● Utilizes an equity lens to examine how co-teaching can benefit both teacher education and practicing teachers.
  • ● Describes how co-teaching is being used to elevate instruction in K–12 and higher education.
  • ● Explores a wide variety of contexts in which co-teaching is being used to train teacher candidates and improve student learning, including traditional, alternative, and online programs and rural and urban settings.
  • ● Provides an Equity Checklist to help educators examine equity considerations that arise throughout the co-teaching cycle (co-planning, co-instruction, co-assessment, and co-reflection).

“I believe you will find that this book and its contents will provide you with thought-provoking ideas and applications. . . . This book has something for each of us—the researcher, the practitioner, and especially those who believe in co-teaching as best practice.”
—From the Foreword by Teresa Washut Heck, director, Academy for Co-Teaching and Collaboration, St. Cloud State University

“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.”
—Ann M. Sebald, associate professor and codirector, Center for Educator Preparation, Colorado State University

“It's exciting to see these respected teacher educators from across the nation share their research as well as pedagogy to enhance co-teaching models. This collection is both informative and user friendly. A great resource for co-teachers and teacher educators.”
—Amy Vessel, James R. Mays Endowed Professor, executive director, The Clinical Residency and Recruitment Center, Louisiana Tech University
