DESCRIPTION
Recently, co-teaching in science and mathematics has largely been the result of accountability. Increased numbers of students with special needs placed in general education mathematics and science classrooms challenges educators to jointly deliver instruction to all students. This session provides practical tips aimed at inclusive science and mathematics learning outcomes.

Why ESEA& IDEA, required by law
ESEA “Teachers must use only research-based teaching methods and the schools must reject unproven fads”IDEA when students are reported as having interim failure, teachers MUST document the intervention that has been put into place to remediate failure! Student Improvement has been noted when the teacher-to-student ratio is reduced and when engagement is increased!

than just paper/pencilTry Language Station for ONLY
those who pre-test showed needed it!

Station teaching provides co-teachers with both time and a method to successfully instruct smaller groups of students in the use of tools and content in any subject area, but is particularly well suited to mathematics and science where discrete skills and deeper holistic processing/critically thinking of content are both needed.

Common Core
“Encourages teachers to focus on skills such as higher order thinking, deep knowledge, substantive conversations, and connections outside the classroom. Station teaching provides a convenient opportunity for co-teachers to design lessons to promote the skills necessary to successfully access the Common Core State Standards” p. 51
