Coordinating for Reading Instruction: General Education and Special Education Working Together

Description

The purpose of this booklet is to provide strategies to help general and special education teachers, speech and language pathologists, school counselors, para-professionals, and administrators (e.g., principals, special education coordinators) plan for and implement co-teaching during reading instruction in classrooms where a variety of learners are represented, including students with disabilities.

The content in this booklet has been influenced by current research on co-teaching and inclusion, a yearlong sustained conversation with four co-teaching teams, and our experience from observations in over seventy co-teaching classrooms.
