   1. Differentiation matrices
   2. Student grades for assessments
   3. Meeting agendas for weekly co-planning
   4. Co-teaching role assignments per lesson

3. In a differentiation matrix, which of the following is NOT one of the four standard categories for planning adaptations?

   1. Process
   2. Product
   3. Assessment weighting
   4. Content

4. Which co-teaching model involves one teacher instructing a smaller group with specific needs while the other teacher works with the larger group?

   1. Parallel teaching
   2. Station rotation
   3. Alternative teaching
   4. Team teaching

   1. Build genuine professional relationships with each other
   2. Create assessment rubrics
   3. Draft role assignment templates
   4. Generate differentiation matrices

   2. Parallel teaching
   3. Station rotation
   4. Alternative teaching
