Welcome to Online Learning Event #F3

Implementing the Team-Based Cycle of Instruction to Promote Student Engagement

This Online Learning Event continues your exploration of the TBCI including the last four stages of the cycle – Learning Together, Just for Me, Assessment and Wrap Up. The TBCI segments lessons into six stages to help co-teachers deliver instruction that maximizes instructional time. Similarly, this segmentation assists co-teachers in defining specific duties and routines for a more balanced co-teaching partnership. As a result, all members of the co-teaching team take an active role in the instructional process based on their areas of expertise. With clear delineation of roles, responsibilities, and allocation of time, co-teachers maximize learning and minimize downtime, distractions, and delays (the 3 Ds ¹).

As you work through this Online Learning Event you will complete these competencies:

• Competency 3: Understand the purpose and key elements of each stage of the Team-Based Cycle of Instruction.
• Competency 4: Identify clear roles and responsibilities for co-teachers within each stage of the Team-Based Cycle of Instruction.
