CO-Collaboration strategies
Cook, L., & Friend, M. (2004, April). Co‐Teaching: Principles, Practices, and Pragmatics, Paper presented

This paper offers a great description of 6 approaches to co-teaching, with excellent descriptions of each approach. Examples include:
- Teach one, one observe
- Teach one, one drift
- Parallel teaching
- Station teaching
- Differentiated/Supplemental teaching
- Team teaching
Each approach has short, accessible descriptions followed by in-depth details on such things as when to use this approach, amount of planning required, and classroom examples.
Evaluation: This is definitely a must-read article for anyone new to collaboration. It opens up possibilities and ideas and gives the teacher librarian more tools to draw from when working with different types of personalities and different types of instruction.
