FOR A "REGULAR" CLASS
I Five Types of Team Teaching from Western Illinois University. See also the list of Prerequisites to Successful Team Teaching.

1. Traditional Team Teaching: both teachers actively share the instruction.
2. Complimentary or Supportive Instruction: one teacher assumes the responsibility.
3. Parallel Instruction: the class is divided into two groups.
4. Differentiated Split Class: the class is divided into two groups according to a specified learning need.
5. Monitoring Teacher: one teacher assumes the responsibility.
FOR AN INCLUSION CLASS
I Inclusion Models for a Building Level, from a graduate student at the University of Northern Iowa. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to select additional team teaching and inclusion ideas.

1. Consultant Model: low incidence of special needs students and overall low student population, this model would be very compatible.
2. Teaming Model: The special education teacher is assigned to one grade level team with one planning period per week for the team.
3. Collaborative, Co-teaching Model: the general education and special education teachers work together to teach students with/without disabilities in a shared classroom - and this is divided into five subgroups.
