Register: Teaching experiences in teaching-learning processes
A MEETING TO SHARE EXPERIENCES
The purpose of this conference is to spread knowledge about the foundations of co-teaching and the classroom practices that are carried out in different schools. To this end, Mondragon University has invited expert speakers on co-teaching to present their knowledge and experiences. During the conference, experiences taking place in different schools in the Basque Country will be shared. The session will be aimed particularly at teachers, managers and consultants interested in co-teaching and pedagogical innovation.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CO-TEACHING
Among the methodological and pedagogical innovations that are taking place in education, co-teaching is one of the elements that is taking on greater prominence. The main objective of co-teaching is for two or more teachers to collaborate in the design, refinement and joint evaluation of teaching-learning processes. Co-teaching allows teachers with different skills, areas or knowledge, and experiences to interact in the classroom, and it can be a key element in promoting the learning experiences by area that are included in the new curriculum in the Basque Autonomous Community. By collaborating in the classroom, the teacher offers students the opportunity to have a more enriching experience. Co-teaching experiences in the classroom help make it possible for personalized attention to be paid to student diversity and to different learning styles.
