Co-Teaching in the Differentiated Classroom is a practical hands-on guide that explains how to implement co-teaching programs in mixed-ability classrooms. Based on the authors' award-winning model, this important guide shows how special education teachers can pair with general education teachers to improve classroom functioning while promoting high achievement for all students. The book provides tested frameworks and tools for teacher collaboration on lesson planning, student grouping, assessment, and discipline. It also offers guidance on managing overcrowded classrooms and on designing and implementing differentiated lessons and assignments, and includes advice for administrators.

"A must for all teachers who care about meeting the needs
of every student; I wish I had had this book when I was a junior
high school teacher. Highly practical, it considers the real
lives and demands upon teachers in terms of Federal, State, and
local standards and expectations across the curriculum. Graphs,
lesson plans, charts, and anecdotal examples cover everything
thoroughly and realistically from how to get started reforming a
school to working with parents." --Susan G.
Bennett, Director, Redwood Writing Project/Chair of the English
Department

"This book is an excellent guide for educators to use to
enhance collaboration skills and learn the basics of differentiated
instruction." --David A. Ellerd, PhD, Professor of
Special Education, Humboldt State University
