Question 6

Which of the following is not a model of co-teaching?&#10;A) One teach, one drift&#10;B) Parallel teaching&#10;C) Station teaching&#10;D) One teach, one analyze

Accepted Answer

One teach, one analyze is not a model of co-teaching. The other three choices (A, B, and C) are all models of co-teaching.

Question 7

___________ is considered the gold standard of co-teaching.&#10;A) Team teaching&#10;B) One teach, one analyze&#10;C) One teach, one drift&#10;D) Station teaching

Accepted Answer

Team teaching is considered the gold standard of co-teaching because it involves both teachers working together to plan, instruct, and evaluate student progress. In team teaching, both teachers are equally present in the classroom and actively participate in instruction, making it the most effective form of co-teaching. One teach, one analyze and one teach, one drift both involve one teacher taking on a secondary role, while station teaching involves teachers working independently with different groups of students.

__________ is when each co-teacher takes a separate heterogeneous group of students.&#10;A) Team teaching&#10;B) Station teaching&#10;C) Alternative teaching&#10;D) One teach, one analyze

Alternative teaching involves one teacher taking responsibility for the larger group, while the other works with a smaller group for more intensive or specialized instruction, allowing for differentiation in a heterogeneous classroom setting.

Question 9

An appropriate percent of IEPs in a co-teaching classroom is ________.&#10;A) 25%&#10;B) 30%&#10;C) 35%&#10;D) 40%

Accepted Answer

There is no universally appropriate percentage of IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) in a co-teaching classroom, as the ideal percentage can vary based on numerous factors including the specific needs of students, the resources available, and the level of support provided by educators. However, a common guideline suggests aiming for about 30% to maintain a balanced and inclusive environment.

Question 10

Co-teaching requires ___________ to be successful.&#10;A) administrative support&#10;B) professional development&#10;C) time for collaborative planning&#10;D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

All three options are necessary for successful co-teaching. Administrative support is needed to ensure that co-teaching is recognized as a valuable instructional method and that teachers have the necessary resources and time to implement it effectively. Professional development is crucial to help co-teachers understand effective collaboration strategies, communication strategies, and instructional techniques. Time for collaborative planning is important so that co-teachers can align instructional goals, create engaging lessons, and assess student progress. Without all three of these components, co-teaching may not be successful.
