Investigating Co-planning and Co-teaching in Higher Education Statistics

Abstract

Co-planning and co-teaching are relatively new in comparison to the field of education. Initially, it was used as a method of collaboration between general education teachers and special education teachers. In recent years, the math education department at East Carolina University has pushed for student teaching to implement the co-teaching model in their internships. As educators, we should strive to implement new methods that can assist with creating an environment that promotes growth within new educators, and co-teaching is an accessible and effective method. My findings will illustrate the benefits of implementing a co-teaching model regarding the development of my own teacher identity, course development, and the effect that co-teaching has on students.
