Co-Planning
Description
Work closely with a teacher as they design classroom systems,
selectobjectives, construct unit or lesson plans or integrate
strategies into theirpractice by providing examples, modeling and
feedback while they work.

currentplans, demonstrate how to plan through a step by step
process, andensure they appropriately integrate a new strategy.

must make decisions that are data driven.Therefore, it is necessary
for them to be much more deliberate in documenting
and evaluating their efforts. Action research is one means
towards that end. Formore information on specific steps in the
