Coteaching

Introduction

Coteaching explicitly brings two or more teachers together to improve what they can offer to the children they teach, while providing opportunities to learn more about their own teaching.
It involves shared planning, teaching and evaluation of lessons. Each coteacher can learn from the other without even attempting to do so
