Abstract
This presentation provides research results from a systematic grounded theory study conducted in an urban school district in Eastern Iowa. The study sought to explain the process by which general education and special education teachers overcome challenges inherent in co-teaching. The theory developed by the study explains how teachers can overcome problems frequently encountered in co-teaching. Recommendations for how administrators and teachers can apply this theory to improving and facilitating co-teaching partnerships are provided.
