This is a qualitative, interview-based study that seeks to improve our …
Frequency of co‐teaching in different teacher categories
Co‐teaching – or the use of more than one teacher in a classroom – has been commonly recommended as a means to promote inclusive education.

The results showed that co‐teaching was a widespread phenomenon among resource room teachers and special class teachers but less frequent among other teacher groups. Overa…
