__My Notes, Module 1.2__

From: //**Coteaching Reading Comprehension Strategies in Elementary School Libraries**//

"Team teaching requires careful planning, respect for each educator's style, and ultimately a shared belief in the value that this level of risk taking can offer students and educators" (Moreillon, p. 4).


 * Fig. 1-2 shows examples, snapshots of what coteaching can look like.

"When educators coplan, coimplement, and coassess lessons and units of instruction, they cannot help but talk about practice, share craft knowledge, observe one another teaching, and root for one another's success. Through collaborative teaching, educators develop a common language, a common set of practices, and channels for communication that can increase student learning and help the entire school community better serve the academic and social needs of students and families" (Moreillon, p. 6).


 * Fig 1-3. is a table outlining benefits of collaboration/coteaching for both students and educators.

"Just as learning is social for students, it is also social for adults" (Moreillon, p. 6).

"Through shared responsibility, coteachers create opportunities for reciprocal mentoring and ongoing shared reflection" (Moreillon, p. 8).

"More students have opportunities for individualized attention, and groups of students can be better supported as they learn essential skills and content in different ways" (Moreillon, p. 8)

"Two or more educators can monitor and adjust teaching and assess students' learning processes and products as well as evaluate the lessons themselves" (Moreillon, p. 8).

From: //**Coteaching Images PowerPoint**// __My Notes:__
 * More individualized student attention
 * Two heads are better than one
 * One speaking, one showing
 * Modeling collaboration
 * Using more than one medium at a time for instruction

From: //**Cooperation-Collaboration PowerPoint**// __My Notes:__ "Do NOT expect to collaborate with ALL members of the faculty ALL of the time. You will spread yourself too thin and will not be able to focus your efforts at any given moment where they will make the greatest impact" (Moreillon, PPT)
 * Comparing teacher collaboration to party planning collaboration and meal preparation
 * David Loertscher's taxonomies of the School Library Media Program are helpful for knowing what stage we are currently in and where we want to go. These are also beneficial to show staff members for a better understanding of what real collaboration and coteaching are.
 * Cooperation and Collaboration are not the same.

From: //**Coteaching Strategies PowerPoint and Poem**// __My Notes:__
 * Description of different coteaching strategies:
 * One teaching, one supporting ~ beneficial for many collaborative relationships on a campus, but NOT the most effective for teacher/librarian
 * Center teaching
 * Parallel teaching
 * Alternative teaching
 * Team teaching
