Types of Co-Teaching/Blended Courses

NCVPS uses a co-teaching model to support online and f2f teacher partnering to support student learning. Below are examples of various course scenarios supported by this co-teaching model:

Blended/OCS Courses

Blended/OCS courses are specifically for those students on the OCS Pathway to graduation. In these situations, the f2f teacher is EC certified, and the NCVPS teacher is content certified.

Co-Teaching Intervention Courses

Co-Teaching Intervention courses in which the students are not on the OCS Pathway to graduation.

Co-Teaching Economics and Personal Finance courses

Co-Teaching Economics and Personal Finance courses may be used for students on the OCS Pathway to graduation or by any other students the school has determined would benefit from the co-teaching model.

Please note that the NC State Board of Education did not create separate EPF standards for students on the OCS Pathway. Therefore, NCVPS has adapted the existing Economics and Personal Finance course (43192XO) to integrate co-teaching structures and supports, similar to our Blended/OCS model.

This CoTaught EPF course functions much like the Blended/OCS model, where NCVPS provides the EPF-certified teacher and the school provides a f2f partner. The teachers collaborate and plan together to ensure student needs are met.

The most significant differences are:

The school can enroll any students in these CoTaught EPF sections, not just those on the OCS Pathway,
The school can select any f2f teacher to partner with. They don't need to be EC certified unless enrolling students are on the OCS Pathway.
