Write a name on each of the two lines at the top, and the columns then say who does what. Fill each row as a pair: if Teacher A leads the mini-lesson, Teacher B's box says what they do meanwhile. Grouping takes whole class, two halves, stations or a small group aside.

Questions and answers

What is a co-teaching lesson plan?

It is one plan for a lesson two teachers give together. Co-teaching, also called team teaching, splits the work between educators who plan, teach and assess the same group of students, generally in one classroom.

Is this a cooperative teaching or collaborative teaching lesson plan template?

Yes, if those are your school's words for two teachers sharing one class. Week for two teachers shows who leads each day and what the other teacher does.

Is there a sample co-teaching lesson plan template?

Yes. The sample fills the opening sheet for two made-up teachers and a math lesson on comparing fractions: both teach the opening and the mini-lesson to the whole class, then each takes one half for practice.

Is there a blank co-teaching lesson plan template PDF?

Yes. Every sheet but the sample is blank, and each saves as its own PDF from the print window, so both teachers can keep a copy of the same plan.
