what is Co-teaching ?

Co-teaching is when a general education teacher and a special education teacher share the responsibilities of planning lessons,
delivering instruction, and assessing skills in a heterogeneous classroom. Co-teaching allows for all students to receive a standards based education in a least restrictive environment. Co-teaching is a school-wide model and value at Perice Elementary. Every grade has at least one fully inclusive classroom.

The BENEFITS OF BEING IN A CO-TEACHING CLASSROOM!

​• Increased appreciation of differences
• Increased teacher time and attention
• Alternate methods of teaching
• Social skills instruction
• New and lasting friendships
• Increased self-esteem and self-confidence
• Strong sense of a classroom community
• Study skills instruction
• Increased test scores

​​WHY IS MY CHILD IN THIS CLASS IF MY CHILD IS NOT SPECIAL EDUCATION?

Your child was picked to be in this classroom because their teachers felt like he/she would be a good peer model.

​What if the pacing is too slow or too fast because of the varying
levels?

Because there are three adults in the room (2 licensed teachers and 1 special education classroom assistant, SECA), your child will get a custom education. ALL students receive improved instruction.
