Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers must rely on technology to reach and teach their students who no longer sit in school classrooms. In so doing, chasms in the quality of engagement have become evident based on students' ability, ethnicity, and home language. We propose that co-teaching between a mentor teacher and a teacher candidate could…

First-Year Seminars (FYS) offer a unique mode of introducing college students to new topics, research practices, and approaches to learning that they may not have been exposed to in high school. In this article, we outline the successes and challenges of team teaching a combined cultural anthropology and biochemistry course on the topic of blood,…

This study was designed to identify factors impacting teachers who co-teach, both special education and general education content teachers. This study also addressed a gap in knowledge regarding job satisfaction for co-teachers. Additionally, this study identified both positive and negative factors that lead to job satisfaction among this specific…

Student achievement is not always the equivalent of what students learn, especially when educators use their feedback to shape daily instruction. When students share their classroom experiences, we can determine better ways to create interdisciplinary partnerships, manage workload, enhance historical understandings, and communicate conclusions.…

The fifth of March 2020 was the 250th anniversary of an event commonly known as the "Boston Massacre," and to commemorate it, the author's upper-level history class staged an unscripted presentation of the resulting historical trial in conjunction with third-year law students enrolled in Practice Court through the Baylor Law School.…

A new science curriculum, with a significant emphasis on modelling, was recently adopted in Danish lower secondary education. The theoretical intentions behind the new curriculum include substantial changes to how teachers should address models and modelling in their practice. The purpose of this study is to analyse the alignment between the…

Co-teaching has been highlighted as a possible response to classroom diversity. This study investigated the use of co-teaching by general education teachers and special teachers in Swedish-speaking schools in Finland. The data consisted of special teachers' (N = 126) responses to a questionnaire. On average, the respondents co-taught for 13% of…

The goal of clinical practice is to enrich teacher candidate learning through enhanced field experiences. Evaluation is a key element of coteaching during which coteachers review their teaching and its impact on pupil learning. However, coteachers are challenged in enacting coevaluation, that is, a critique of the teacher candidate's and clinical…

Teaching primary science through inquiry offers a number of benefits including developing pupils' science skills, progressing thinking skills and personal capabilities, and making science relevant to children's everyday experience. Ensuring that pre-service teachers (PSTs) are fully confident and competent in teaching inquiry-based science (IBS)…

The purpose of this mixed method study was to investigate practice-based evidence by comparing secondary level general and special education teachers' perceptions of co-teaching experiences. Three research questions were answered to determine the perceptions of effective co-teaching methods in secondary inclusive classrooms: (1) Using the…

A critical part of teacher education programs is preparing educators for their careers, including assuring that coteaching is performed in an effective manner, particularly in inclusive classrooms. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to gain an understanding of the preparation teachers received for coteaching. The conceptual framework…

Co-teaching is a widely used instructional approach to meet the needs of all students in inclusive classrooms across the globe. Despite the widespread implementation of the practice, little is known about how teachers are prepared to use it. This study examined the extent to which 77 teachers were prepared to use co-teaching. Results indicated…

Background and Context: A key challenge in advancing computer science education in K-12 schools is teacher preparation and support. School-university partnerships and service-learning programs where undergraduates assist teachers represent one promising approach to supporting K-12 computer science teaching. Objectives: In this work, we examine the…
