Write short notes Co-operative teacher education.
Answers
Answer:
A situation in a classroom where two teachers work on a class together may be called co-operative teaching. This can be used in any classroom, and is often used in classrooms where a teacher collaborates with a special educator.
While both – a general educator and special educator – have their rightful place even as they work together, their responsibilities vary. A general educator is responsible for the content, while the special educator facilitates the learning process.
It is important that we do not view the special educator or the second teacher simply as a ‘helper’ or ‘assistant,’ as their functions are dynamic and essential and is not, in any way, secondary to the primary educator. Instead, the two teachers teach together, i.e. co-teach, in the classroom.
