From the Paper:

"The term "co-teaching" is defined as the use of more than one certified teacher to a class of students, with both educators providing instruction in some form. Co-teaching offers a number of benefits including the opportunity for more individualized attention and intervention for students.This is particularly important with second-language difficulties, special educational needs or for students who may be having a problem with a particular topic. Co-teaching also enhances the structure and management of the classroom, since a teacher does not have to delay the progress of the whole class due to needs of a few others who require special help."
