How do co-teachers and ETAs contribute to and benefit from the co-teaching relationship and experience?

Join us at a research presentation by Shelby Lawson, Fulbright ETA Coordinator/Researcher who will convey the personal accounts and statistics of the English Teaching Assistant (ETA) and co-teacher relationships. In a co-teaching relationship, the students should not be the only ones gaining valuable experience and skills. Both of the teachers should grow and benefit as well, especially in a cross-cultural partnership. Her research will examine how both teachers are affected by their co-teaching relationship, with particular focus on teaching practices and future plans. Conclusions will show that co-teachers have a positive effect on their classrooms and each other.
