This new co-publication from Routledge and MiddleWeb provides a wealth of practical strategies and tips to help K–12 educators co-teach more effectively. Author Elizabeth Stein presents examples of different co-teaching models and shows how to cultivate a dynamic co-teaching relationship to benefit all students. Whether you’re a brand new co-teacher or are simply looking to improve the dynamics in your classroom, the research-based strategies, vignettes, and ready-to-use assessment rubrics in this book will help you create a positive learning culture that influences all learners, teachers, and students alike. Topics include:
- Selecting and implementing the appropriate co-teaching model to optimize student learning;
- Developing an effective curriculum that plays to the strengths of both teachers;
- Creating a learning environment that promotes self-reflection and nurtures critical thinking;
- Accommodating all learners by embracing a multi-dimensional view of teacher knowledge; and
- Providing specific, attentive feedback to help students take charge of their learning.
The book also features book discussion questions for each chapter so you can work with colleagues during book studies and PLCs.
"Two Teachers in the Room combines what we know about best practices for co-teaching with current, evidence-based best practices for teaching in general. Stein’s book provides readers with concrete strategies for working collaboratively to engage students, increase motivation, recognize and teach diversity, and implement UDL. Co-teachers will be able to use the questions strategically placed throughout the text to create a dialogue, build rapport, increase skills, problem-solve, and improve communication. The book is practical, easy to read, and brings in content not addressed before in other co-teaching books. Two Teachers in the Room will be a must-have book for all new and veteran co-teaching teams!"--Wendy W. Murawski, PhD, Executive Director and Eisner Endowed Chair, Center for Teaching & Learning, California State University, Northridge
"Elizabeth Stein’s Two Teachers in the Room: Strategies for Co-Teaching Success is my new go-to guide when working with school teams who want to implement, or further develop, a co-teaching model. In Stein's words, this is a '"why to" approach to making co-teaching successful.' Two Teachers in the Room goes beyond the basics of co-teaching to focus on the relationship between the professionals, in order to best meet the needs of students. Stein has included scenarios and reflections throughout the book to give readers the opportunity to analyze and apply their new knowledge. In true Elizabeth Stein fashion, she encourages teachers to be intentional in their approach to curriculum, instruction, and social-emotional learning."--Christie Flayhart, Supervisor of Secondary Instructional Programs, Department of Special Education and Psychological Services, Frederick County Public Schools, MD
