Join us for a half-day, hands-on workshop exploring ways to maximize co-teaching arrangements with other professionals to support students with learning and/or behavioral needs. Attendees will engage in a simulation of co-teaching arrangements as they learn about ways to plan, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of each arrangement. Attendees will also learn two bonus strategies for supporting learning and behavior during the session. Attendees will have an opportunity to practice each strategy, receive feedback from the presenter, and create materials for use in their classrooms. Attendees are encouraged (though not required) to bring a colleague and will leave the session with templates to immediately support planning, instructional literacy practices, and delivery of co-teaching strategies.

Additional information:

  • General education, special education, and related service providers welcome
  • No prior experience with co-teaching necessary
