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.

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.
