This is a qualitative, interview-based study that seeks to improve our …
Frequency of co‐teaching in different teacher categories

The data were collected through a questionnaire answered by two representative samples of teachers including 117 resource room teachers in the first survey, and 317 teachers of various teacher categories in the second.
