What is Co-Teaching?

Without co-teaching, our Kern Rural Teacher Residency would be impossible to implement.  Co-teaching is the cornerstone of our residency model.  It is defined as two teachers working together with students – sharing the planning, organizing, instructing, and assessing in one physical space.  Co-teaching involves two willing educators who are able to ensure that student learning occurs at the most efficient levels possible.  Our residents spend approximately two semesters within this co-teaching model, and the residents within our program have the opportunity to co-teach with some of the best professional educators in Kern County.  Utilizing two teachers in every classroom is beneficial to all.
