Teacher agency in change: Baby steps towards co-teaching

This study explores teacher agency in co-teach- ing: a situation where at least two teachers work together – mainly in the same place – to design, implement, and evaluate teaching. Co-teaching brings the skills of several teachers into the classroom. Focus group discussions help to clarify what the pedagogues are saying about co-teaching by considering the ways in which teacher agency is implemented when teaching together. According to the results, co-teaching was regarded a positive experience, but there were some preconditions. The stories told by

the various teacher groups (class, subject, and special teachers) were different. Regardless of their educational background, teachers gener- ally considered co-teaching as a way of working that developed their professional skills and, at best, made their everyday work easier. Some of the teachers found co-teaching increased their agency, while others felt it narrowed their agen- cy. By deviating from its strict definition, the im- plementation of co-teaching was stretched as necessary.
