Introduction
Did you know our high school has had team teaching for years? This is not new.
Last spring, regular education teachers were asked if they would be willing to team teach this year.
There is no District plan/format required for team teaching. Each team is allowed to make professional decisions about how to proceed.

What is the 80/80 Rule?
63% of special education students need to be in regular classrooms 80% of the time.
It’s commonly called the 80/80 Rule because each year the State is increasing the requirement.
Eventually, we will be required to have 80% of our special education students in regular classrooms 80% of the time.

IEP & 504 – Follow the Rules
You will have more special needs students than you ever had before.
Read through their IEPs and 504s. Make sure you understand their accommodations.
You MUST follow ALL accommodations.

Mine, Yours, Ours
Team Teaching does NOT mean you teach your regular ed students and the special ed teachers their special ed students.
Every special ed student that walks in your door is YOUR student too! Both teachers are there to teach every student in the class.
They are all OUR students 100% of the time.

Getting Started
Most regular education teachers have only a basic understanding about learning disabilities.
Get your class list, IEPs & 504s and go to the following web site:

Know Your Team
Team Teaching is NOT having an extra helper in the room.
Team Teaching IS two professionals who are responsible for ALL the students on their team.
Are you ready? Is your school ready?

Our Students 100% of the Time
Just remember, no matter what happens this year, no matter what team teaching style you choose, your students have the benefit of two professionals working with them this year.
This year is not a matter of mine vs. yours. They are all OUR students, and together WE can offer them more.
Good luck!
