ECU Co-teaching Project
Fall 2012 Senior I/Spring 2013 Senior II Pilot
The Co-teaching initiative is one extension of TQP Clinical Practice Reform. The design is patterned after Marilyn Friend’s Co-teaching research and the Academy for Co-Teaching and Collaboration at St. Cloud State University.
During the spring semester 2012, the ECU Office of Teacher Education piloted one Co-teaching model at an elementary school in Pitt County with one clinical teacher supervising two interns. The success of this endeavor is leading us to research and
expand the model.
St. Cloud State University defines Co-teaching as two teachers (cooperating teacher and teacher candidate) working together with groups of students – sharing the planning, organization, delivery and assessment of instruction, as well as the physical space. Both teachers are actively involved and engaged in all aspects of instruction.
Marilyn Friend’s Co-teaching model includes 7 Co-teaching strategies: 1) One Teach, One Observe 2) One Teach, One Assist 3) Station Teaching 4) Parallel Teaching 5) Supplemental Teaching 6) Alternative (Differentiated) Teaching 7) Team Teaching.
Co-teaching in student teaching provides a comprehensive and rigorous experience for teacher candidates,
allows cooperating teachers the ability to remain actively involved, and enhances the quality of learning for
P12 students. The Co- teaching partnership enables cooperating teachers to provide consistent mentoring,
giving teacher candidates the time and support necessary to gain skills and confidence required to teach
successfully. St. Cloud State University
At ECU we are investigating Co-teaching from several vantage points to ensure that our teacher candidates are positively impacting student achievement in their initial years of teaching experience.
