The text offers a valuable overview of how to work with new
practitioners and support their practice with a coteaching
approach. It clearly defines what coteaching is, what coteaching
looks like within the classroom context and how it differs from
other forms of collaborative teaching, and the theoretical basis of
coteaching. It offers a wide range of tested and helpful solutions
to work with others and developing trainees’ in practice, and is
underpinned by detailed research. It offers a clear advice and
guidance and useful models of practice which can be used in a range
of contexts. A very thought provoking and insightful read, which
really changes your thinking about how you can approach
school-based teacher training and vary the activities, strategies
and techniques you use to make the most of your trainees’ talents.
Succinct and very clear.
