Co-Teaching+Information

[|Co-teaching Connection Website] - Marilyn Friend,
Marilyn is on of the top experts on Co-teaching. This sites includes example lesson plans, solutions to problem situations, and links to a variety of resources. I also recommend her __CoTeach! handbook__ below in the book section. .

Here are a few of Marilyn Friend's journal articles:
 * ===[|Is Co-Teaching Effective?] - Marilyn Friend, PhD from the CEC website===
 * ===[|Co-Teaching: A Simple Solution that Isn't so Simple After All]- Marilyn Friend, PHD. Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, July 2008===

[|Co-teaching Books at Amazon.com]
These are books that I thought looked interesting. I have already purchased a few and really recommend the following:

This book discusses the issues of grading and assessment in the Differentiated Classroom. It begins with a quick, but very clear overview of what Differentiated Instruction is and why it matters. The bluk of the book is spent dicussing appropriate and effective assessment and grading in the secondary classroom so that content mastery is achieved. This includes how a zero adversely effects a student's grade, letting students redo assignments, and building effective lessons. This book is a great place to begin discussing these issues. I think this would be a great book for a book study group. A easy to use handbook to handle day-today issues that occur in co-teaching situations. Recommended by my Twitter PLN as the most useful and practical manual on co-teaching they have ever used. Can be ordered [|online from NPR, Inc] or by mail from her website.
