Abstract	The term Exceptional Children refers to both the highest performing students in the most advanced classes as well as those with the most severe intellectual challenges and every level of functioning in between. In one southeastern state, Exceptional Children teachers work with high school Occupational Course of Study students. These students, who are assisted under the umbrella of special education, have mental, physical, or emotional disabilities that disqualify them from mainstreaming. Teachers of these students are expected to manage the behavioral, emotional, social, and physical needs of their students in addition to teaching the standard course of study in all content areas. This can pose serious challenges to teachers who are already burdened by high amounts of required paperwork, meetings, and other administrative tasks particular to working with special education students. In order to meet the demands of their classroom responsibilities, a unique blended coteaching program for high school students pairs a classroom Exceptional Children's teacher with a virtual instructor in as many as four content areas to provide instructional materials and individualized modifications for every student on a daily basis. This co-teaching relationship is meant to provide support for the classroom teacher, who is primarily responsible for the management of the classroom. This case study of blended program instructors aims to describe the potential of the co-teaching relationship and how it can provide support to the classroom teachers. It is based on Nel Noddings' Ethics of Care framework, which uses caring as an approach to focus on the moral responsibility we have to model caring actions, dialogue with others, practice caring for and receiving care from others, and confirm the most ideal version of others and ourselves.
