Dr. Stang spoke about her experience developing and implementing a co-teaching model She mentioned several models

^ Parallel teaching
^ Station teaching
^ Alternative teaching
^ Team teaching
(Cook and Friend, 1995) these are the experts on the models of co-teaching.

Impact: There were some ideas here that will translate to the classroom. The planning piece was essential and that should be done weekly. There was a good discussion of the benefits of this model, but also the expense and investment that it takes.
