Partners in Practice

Author Matthew Treadway provides a sequential, step-by-step guide for general and special education teachers to build strong, collaborative co-teaching partnerships. This book offers tools and templates that promote an equal voice for each teacher at every stage of instruction, from unpacking standards to planning for intervention. As a result, both partners can deliver more targeted instruction and improve student success.

• Establish mutually agreed-on standards to guide student learning
• Collaboratively develop assessments with clear benchmarks for consistent performance measurement
• Create lesson plans that co-teachers can lead together collaboratively
• Deliver instruction and support according to goals outlined in the lesson plans
• Analyze and assess the efficacy of co-taught instruction based on student performance data
