Module 3
Co-Planning and Co-Teaching

Driving Focus: As you engage in Module 3, consider the varied roles you may hold as a mentor and the nature of the work the mentee may be engaged in as they are learning to teach.  With co-planning, co-teaching, and gradual release, the nature of your mentorship may drive the extent to which you are able to engage in these practices with your mentee.

 

If you are working with a teacher candidate, in what ways will co-planning and co-teaching support the gradual release of responsibilities and progression towards independence?

 

If you are working with an on-the-job intern or new teacher, how can you support their understanding and application of co-planning and co-teaching with other colleagues and teammates? In what ways might you be able to use co-planning and co-teaching in your mentorship?
