Longfellow Elementary Alvin, Texas • Kendra Duckworth, Librarian • Longfellow Library… • Where We • PAWS • To Read • Everyday! A Place Where Everyone has Their Own SPOT
CO-Teaching… • How Does It Happen…. • Sometimes it is planned… • Other times, it just works out – Accidentally PERFECT!! • It is based on the needs of the teacher/students. • Because my campus still believes in a fixed schedule, I have ONE day a week to co-teach and show teachers the benefits of when we work together!

CO-Teaching… • How Do I Help… • By attending monthly content area meetings and hearing what teachers are doing in their classrooms and what resources they need, I target a needed concept and approach a willing teacher that wants more than just resources I can hand to them, but will actually use ME as a resource in their classroom. • By my presence in the classroom, there is more teacher to student interaction to assess comprehension and learning. • Clip Art from Microsoft
Planning… • Plan your collaborative lesson and make sure it is documented. • This makes it easier to make changes for the next time, add components to the lesson, and share with another teacher when they are ready to do a similar lesson with you.

Planning… • There are many types of planning sheets available. Find one that works for you and the teacher you are working with. • Planning Sheets found: • http://www.iowa-city.k12.ia.us/library/About/Collaboration.htm • http://www.accessola.com/osla/toolkit/home.html
Sample Lesson • Though this one lesson, many Reading skills can be covered: • TEKS 2(B)/AASL 1.1.3- Ask relevant questions, seek clarification, and locate facts and details about stories and other texts and support answers with evidence from text. • TEKS(9)/AASL 1.1.7 Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Literary Nonfiction: Make sense of information gathered from diverse sources by identifying misconceptions, main and supporting ideas, conflicting information, and point of view or bias.
TEKS 13(A)/AASL 1.1.5 - identify the details or facts that support the main idea. • TEKS 13(D)/ AASL 1.1.4 - use text features (e.g., bold print, captions, key words, italics) to locate information and make and verify predictions about contents of text. • TEKS 29(A)/AASL 1.1.9 Listen attentively to speakers, ask relevant questions, and make pertinent comments. • TEKS 31/AASL 1.1.9 Collaborate with others to broaden and deepen understanding. • I am sure we could link many others to this lesson if needed!
CO-Teaching… • This lesson happened quite “accidentally”! • The teacher was asking for informational text to use with her students. • She wanted to use magazine articles. • In a literacy training, we read about Tanny McGregor’s Comprehension Connections – Bridges to Strategic Reading and teaching students how to separate “Fact from Fluff” and determining importance. • Clip Art from Microsoft
