[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wells Middle School is fully co-teaching for core content areas. It's two full teachers, and usually one of the two has ML or SpEd certification. One of our teachers recently testified to the SBOE about how much better the educator experience is in a co-teaching model. At its most basic, she can go to the bathroom when she needs to. They also feel more supported and more likely to stay at the school.

From my kid's perspective, it works great because sometimes he clicks with one teacher and not with another. If it was just the latter teacher in the room, the class could be a wash for the whole year.[/quote]

A Wells teacher was on one of committee hears a month or so ago and talked about how much she loved it and how it helped avoid burnout.

Whittier has assistant teachers but they are very hands on and can take the lead if a teacher is out. All the second teachers we've had have been great and a couple have been bilingual.[/quote]

Agree that Whittier has done a great job of intentionally hiring bilingual aides/support teachers both for the multilingual students as well as for the English-dominant ones whose families want more of a bilingual experience. [/quote]
