First co-teaching blog assignment

Hi, I'm Kelly a 2nd grade teacher at Cloud Springs Elementary.  I co-teach with Lori Younce for reading, language and math. Over the past month we used a variety of co-teaching models depending on the subject area.  For this self assessment I'm going to use our math segment.  In math we originally used station teaching.  Remediation during this work time I felt was strong but we wanted to have our groups interact more during work time.  We also didn't have much time for co-planning.  Currently, Lori and I have been trying to meet at least 1x/wk to co-plan and have been using the math workshop format for our lessons.  We have yet to use the co-plan format in Google Docs.  During our most recent math lessons we have used more alternative teaching/team teaching.  I feel we are making progress in the area of math and the students are also making progress.  Moving forward I hope we can continue to co-plan and also work in some more time for remediation groups.
