[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our elementary math coach met with each team weekly to help plan both synchronous and asynchronous learning. We taught in 2 30-minute segments (one in the AM, one in the PM) [b]She co-taught with several grade level teachers each day.[/b] [/quote]

How did she do-teach. Did she help lead Zoom sessions?  I’m having a hard time picturing what co-teaching looks like during a Zoom session. [/quote]

I can't speak to math coaches, but as a special educator, I can tell you what co-teaching looks like in my school a live type session.

During the portion of the class where the primary teacher is addressing the whole class (e.g. speaking through the powerpoint), I'm monitoring the kids with disabilities, and providing behind the scene feedback to both those kids (we use  a google platform, so I send them google hangouts messages, or if need be signal them to turn off their mic and then I call them in a separate hangout call).

Then when the class is dismissed for independent work, my students come with me.  So, while the teacher dismisses the class, but stays in the meet so kids can come back to answer questions, I bring my group of students with IEPs to my separate Meet classroom, and we talk through the assignment together.  Then they work on their assignment in Google docs, so I can hop back and forth and see what they are doing.  I keep my meet open, so if I a kid needs me they can just come to the meet, turn on their microphone, and I hear them and know to go to their google doc.   I can either type into their document, or if it's a kid who isn't a fluent enough writer for that to work, I make a hangout and then we can both talk and look at the document.  Of if there's a point that sticky for multiple kids, I might turn on my microphone and ask for everyone to come back, and we walk through it together.

Outside of class hours, I'm helping the gen ed teacher create materials, and also making differentiated versions for students who need a different level.

That's special ed, but I can imagine a gen ed math teacher supporting students in a similar way. [/quote]
