How do you ensure that your co-teaching strategies make the most of the time that you and your co-teaching partner have in the classroom? The answer is co-planning, which will dramatically and efficiently increase the effectiveness of your instruction.
In Co-Planning for Co-Teaching, author Gloria Lodato Wilson presents time-saving routines for general and special education teachers that will increase the active roles of each co-teacher and intensify instruction for students. Useful for co-teachers, administrators supervising co-teachers, and pre-service teachers, this book outlines

• how to eliminate the frustration and barriers often associated with co-planning,
• how to maintain the rigor of the coursework,
• how best to address the needs of students, and
• co-planning strategies for meeting IEP goals.

Packed with useful examples for both elementary and secondary co-teachers, Wilson's "behind-the-scenes" guidance helps co-teachers make the most of co-planning time.
