Instructed another co-teaching team in our building

Carrie and I instructed another math co-teaching team in our building.  These teachers co-teach Algebra I.  This is their first term co-teaching together.  We started by showing them student samples for our own implementation.  We also went through the all of the steps in the handbook.  From there, we decided what topic would be best to use when introducing this to the students.  We ultimately decided on graphing linear inequalities.  From there, we assisted them with creating a key to use as a guide (we accidentally left off some of the always present characteristics when doing the definition.  However, we have since discussed the importance of these and will not miss them in future lessons).   We spoke about the general education teacher taking the lead in both planning and instruction for the content knowledge and the special education teacher taking the lead in both planning and instruction for the SDI's.  However, as a general rule at our school, both teachers share in these roles, meaning even though the general education teacher took the lead with the content, the special education teacher also contributed with the roles reversed for the SDI piece. We met three times for about about 2 hours total (March 1-3, 2017).

We did not use a power point to guide them, instead we used the books and went through each step, showing them our own examples (keys and student samples).  Carrie and I also modeled for them the process (us acting as the teachers and they the students).  We made our books available for them to use during practice and implementation.
