This chapter helps to outline what all co-teaching teams should be doing during each phase of a typical school year. Because the two individuals involved in co-teaching are operating in a situation in which there must be teamwork, the authors recommend a sports analogy that compares the approach for co-teachers for the entire school year to a team of coaches preparing for an upcoming season (in any sport). We have broken the year down into three distinct phases: preseason, season, and postseason (Linz, Heater, and Howard 2008). The authors will consider each separately.
