As a way of providing support to students who have struggled in their core classes, several classes may be co-taught by a regular education and special education teacher. To be in most of these co-taught classes, students will need to meet District-developed criteria, which will include either being non-proficient in the subject area (for social studies, Reading and Writing proficiency would apply) or being at-risk for being non-proficient. Both students with IEPs and regular education students may qualify for co-taught courses.

Among the course that may be co-taught are (some sections of these courses may not be co-taught):

• English 9, 10, 11, 12
• Algebra IB, Integrated Geometry, Integrated Algebra II (These co-taught math courses are full-year courses)
• 19th Century U.S. History, 20th Century U.S. History, Global Studies, Practical Law (Social Studies)
• Science 9, Biology B, Chemistry in the Community (Science)

The goal of providing additional resources for struggling students is to provide another intervention to help our students achieve proficiency. If a student is scheduled for a co-taught course, parents/guardians will be notified. There will be higher expectations for two-way parent-teacher communication in these courses.
