co-teacher

Shared instruction partner

A co-teacher is someone who shares teaching responsibilities with another instructor, typically in the same classroom.

Co-teaching pairs often combine different expertise—a subject specialist with a special education teacher, or two instructors dividing content: My co-teacher handles the math lessons while I cover reading.
