Co-teaching as a context for teachers' professional learning and joint knowledge construction

Informal learning of primary school teachers: Considering the role of teaching experience and school culture

“…Consequently, the importance of informal learning e i.e. teacher learning within the daily practice of teaching e for the development of employees has become more widely recognised (e.g., Cunningham & Hillier, 2013;Rytivaara & Kershner, 2012;Shapiro, 2003).

Adding to this, Laughlin, Nelson, and Donaldson (2011) argued that co-teaching is more than pairing two instructors together.…”

Prácticas de co-docencia: el caso de una dupla en el marco del Programa de Integración Escolar en Chile

“…Otro aspecto importante que se ha develado se relaciona con la disposición que el profesorado regular tiene hacia la educación inclusiva, en tanto un conjunto de investigaciones ha constatado dificultades para implementar estrategias co-docentes, muchas veces debido a que su formación inicial no profundizó en estas formas de trabajo ni en la atención a la diversidad (Cook & Friend, 1995;Marfán et al, 2013;Rodríguez, 2012;Rytivaara & Kershner, 2012;Scruggs et al, 2007).…”
