Abstract

This manuscript attempts to synthesise results of research on importance of co-teaching for the process of education. In the first part of the text we defined co-teaching and we classified areas, in which co-teaching is analysed. Further, we described existing models of co-teaching, potential determinants of cooperation between teachers, as well as benefits of such way of collaboration. At the end we discussed importance of co-teaching for students – in the case of cognitive, as well as social functioning.
