Abstract or Description

Co-teaching has become a common service delivery model for students with disabilities (Friend, 2014). However, teacher candidates (TC) leave teacher preparation programs (TPP) ill prepared to participate in successful co-teaching partnerships (Chitiyo & Brinda, 2018). The purpose of this presentation is to consider how TPPs and their school partnerships can provide experiences that better prepare TCs for their role as a co-teacher. In addition, the presenter will propose how partnerships may facilitate and mindfully place TCs in co-taught settings in order to enrich TCs’ understanding of the behaviors and tools necessary to be successful in inclusive classrooms.
