One Plans, One Assists

Each co-teacher designs a portion of the lesson, although one clearly has the main responsibility. The team works jointly on final planning.

Benefits

Better instructional materials

Clear division of planning responsibilities

Final planning done jointly

Concerns

Initial planning done separately may not mesh well

Critical that the same teacher is not always in assistant role

Notes

It provides an opportunity for each co-teacher to contribute resources new to the other.
