    This document discusses the pros and cons of supportive co-teaching. [1] Supportive co-teaching involves one teacher taking the lead role while the other rotates among students to provide support. [2] Potential pros include capitalizing on each teacher's strengths, a higher teacher-to-student ratio, and shared responsibilities; however, cons can include the "Velcro effect" of a teacher hovering over select students, one teacher becoming just the "discipline police," and resentment if skills are not utilized properly or responsibilities feel unequal. [3] Effective communication, planning, and coordination are needed to avoid potential cons.
