Every year school administrators have to determine whether they will be able to place special education teachers or aides in mainstreamed classrooms. When a second teacher is assigned to the same class, an opportunity for co-teaching presents itself. This article shares how one particular co-teaching experience was a win-win for both teachers and all of their students. The two teachers were able to work cooperatively to meet the needs of each and every student in the class. An added benefit was that the science teacher learned new strategies for helping special needs students, and the special education teacher learned new science content.
