Papers should be organized according to the headings that follow. Do not exceed page limits:
I. Establishing the Collaborative Partnership: Background (no more than 1 page):
? Briefly describe the school, classroom, and students who were involved in your co-taught lessons. Include your co-teachers name (real), his/her role and discipline professional experience (# of years teaching and at current school), other staff involved, and your own background.
? When describing the students, be sure to maintain confidentiality (use first names only) and use respectful, person-first rather than deficit emphasized descriptions of students and/or their learning needs.
? Describe why you chose this person for the assignment and what was required of you to arrange times to plan and develop lessons and materials that were used in this assignment.
II. Cross Disciplinary Lesson Plan Development
A. Lesson Plan OUTLINE (1 page/lesson; see sample template):
? Describe the lessons focus, students learning objectives, and NY State and/or Common Core Standards aligned with the lesson.
? Indicate the co-teaching approach(es) to be used in the lesson, who did what (roles) during instructional sequencing, and structures set to ensure that co-teaching approaches were coordinated (e.g., if station teaching was used, how did groups move between stations).
? Indicate how student learning was assessed during and at the end of each lesson (formative and summative assessments).
B. Summative Review of Implementation. At minimum, address the following (1-2 pages/lesson):
? Explain how each co-teaching partners expertise was used to develop the lessons content and/or sequencing.
? Discuss why you chose the specific co-teaching approach(es), i.e., what you wanted to accomplish and/or if another approach would have been less or more helpful.
? How well did you and your co-teacher implement the chosen co-teaching approach(es)? Did you plan, coordinate, and work well together? Why/why not?
? Did students appear to benefit from your co-teaching? Why/why not?
? If you were to do this lesson over, what would you change to improve it? Indicate if you would use a different co-teaching approach and if so, why.
III. Home-School Collaboration. At minimum, address the following (1-2 pages):
? Describe how you established rapport with the family (how did you arrange to meet them, how often did you meet, did you need an interpreter). Comment whether your work with the family was supported or undermined in any way by others (e.g., your co-teacher, other classroom staff).
? Describe the familys priority, the materials that you developed, how you supported them to use what you developed, how you elicited their feedback once you gave them your materials, how you responded to this feedback, and if you revised materials for them.
? Discuss what you learned from this assignment about what needs to happen to ensure positive and meaningful rapport with families.
IV. Overall Reflection and Evaluation. At minimum, address the following (2-3 pages):
? Evaluate how well you “led the way” with your co-teaching partner to plan and implement your lessons. Include how you applied course-emphasized collaboration skills (e.g., coordination, problem solving, and communication), and if you took specific actions to ensure parity between you and your colleague and/or classroom staff.
? Critically assess whether the co-teaching approaches you used positively impacted student learning outcomes — based on students participation, completed work, your direct observations, and feedback from students, your co-teacher, or other colleagues.
? Share what you learned about the range of communication and other skills necessary to ensure successful co-teaching and coordination with colleagues, establishing rapport with families to solidify home-school collaboration, and whether there are steps you might take in the future to continue to refine your co-teaching and collaboration skills.
