Abstract
In order to best serve our students in urban, rural, and international contexts, we use a co-teaching model in the Master of Development Practice (MDP) and Master of Arts in Education (MAE) Programs that connects students online to create a online synchronous learning experience. In this study, I consider systems and structures we have put into place in order to keep students connected and engaged in real-time remote learning. Grounded in the guiding principles of co-planning, co-instruction, co-assessment, and co-communication, I discuss how co-teaching can be utilized to optimize students’ content understanding. Through our modeling and guidance, our students (practicing teachers and development practitioners) are then able to transfer these strategies and skills to their own unique professional contexts. By utilizing co-teaching in remote learning environments, we have found it to be an effective and efficient way to connect students across modalities and contexts in order to best meet their learning needs.
