Abstract: The article looks at ways co-teachers, or teaching teams, of students with disabilities can discuss and develop assessments to inform academic instruction. The article defines typical co-teaching and states the three components as co-planning, co-instructing, and co-assessing. The authors focus on co-assessment and describe ways in which assessments can be differentiated and their effects. These include ways co-teachers can share assessment responsibilities, discuss assessment philosophy, and use sources such as standardized test scores for data before instruction. According to the article, when both teachers are involved in assessment development students receive the maximum benefits.
