Collaboration for Ongoing Communication

In the inclusion model classrooms, general education and special education teachers have shared students; students who are on class rosters as well as caseloads. In this situation, it has been determined by the IEP team that students are going to be taught either in the classroom by both the general education and special education teachers OR spend a combination of time inside and outside the classroom. In this situation, it is important for both teachers to collaborate with each other and understand the student equally in order to create a positive learning environment as well as a positive relationship with parents and families.
