Inclusive schools provide the opportunity for all students to develop the attitudes, values, and skills needed to live and work alongside others in a diverse society. Co-teaching allows students and teachers to experience and benefit from a wide range of learning styles, teaching techniques, and data-driven instruction, while promoting inclusion and a sense of community among a unique group of people working toward the same goals of success and growth
The purpose of the book is to examine teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of the co-teaching and highlight the perceived barriers to success. In examining the responses of teachers, this study will review the literature on co-teaching success, problems, and barriers to success. This research may be used to increase and highlight the problems, barriers, and needs for effective co-teaching programs and add to the body of research in this area. This book will also provide research based solutions to address the current barriers to successful inclusive classrooms. In addition, this book provides practical ideas for defining teacher roles, planning lessons, providing effective instruction, and maximizing the value of each team member.
