For co-teaching teams and administrators, this guide explains how to set up, conduct, and maintain partnerships in elementary classrooms. Murawski (special education, California State U., Northridge), who has been a co-teacher, uses the metaphor of marriage and its stages to show co-teaching in action, particularly between general education teachers and special service providers working with students with disabilities. She describes instructional and behavioral strategies, ways to improve the effectiveness of co-teaching, the administrator's role, understanding each other, planning, establishing goals and norms, setting roles and responsibilities, sharing space and materials, dealing with behavioral, instructional, and assessment issues, and differentiation. Forms, worksheets, and examples are provided. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
