Abstract
Co-teaching is one of several instructional methods used in the clinical model to educate pre-service teachers. The clinical model, implemented by Shawnee State University (SSU) since the 2014-2015 school year, is a P-12 learner/school/community focused practice where P-12 learning is the priority. This differs from the traditional student teaching model, which is a course-based teacher preparation practice focused on the pre-service teacher and college. This chapter will share the experiences of two SSU professors who teamed up to provide a team-teaching model in the higher education classroom that supported the clinical model tenants.
