Abstract: Co-teaching is an essential collaborative instructional strategy that addresses diverse learning needs in inclusive classrooms. This paper explores how co-teaching enhances instructional strategies through the integration of differentiated instruction (DI), adaptive learning, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Drawing from Sharma’s (2024a, 2024b, 2024c) research, the paper highlights evidence-based practices and their impact on student achievement, engagement, and equity. Co-teaching models like Station Teaching, Parallel Teaching, and Alternative Teaching are examined for their alignment with inclusive frameworks. Differentiated instruction is emphasized as a strategy that caters to varied student readiness, interests, and learning profiles, while UDL principles provide a proactive framework for removing learning barriers. Adaptive learning technologies are discussed for their role in personalization and accessibility for students with special needs. The discussion also considers the role of administrative support, collaborative planning, and teacher training. This synthesis aims to inform educators, policymakers, and school leaders on implementing effective co-teaching practices to support inclusive education
