In the co-taught class, one teacher is able to model filling in the frames while the other teacher reviews the literature and facilitates the lesson. Students are better able to use concise note-taking skills and narrow down key points as the teacher models. The challenge was getting the students to be more concise in their note-taking, but this was remedied with the co-teacher modeling. As the students get used to taking notes in the frame, they are learning to be more concise and truly pull out keywords and important points.
For the future, we intend to develop an interactive frame so the students will be able to use their Chromebooks to co-construct the frames.
