Teaching Secrets: 5 Ways to Make Co-teaching Work
Meet Jason. He's sociable, respects his teacher, and turns in his homework (most of the time). He also dreads the day he has to answer a question. He wishes he could fade into the background of school.
Teachers don't talk much about students like Jason. It's easy to think, "Well, he’s a good kid, he sees the reading specialist in a small group, he will be just fine." But when teachers collaborate effectively, kids learn more.
This year, I've tested that idea, co-teaching a 7th grade reading class with our response-to-intervention reading specialist. I've found that with this set-up, students like Jason can advance more quickly.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
