Making a Difference Through Co-Teaching: Spring 2026 - Day 2
In this two‐day session, co-teaching teams will explore how co‐teaching can effectively meet the needs of students with and without disabilities in the general education classroom. On day one, six co‐teaching approaches will be shared, with a review of the advantages and disadvantages of each. Teams will also discuss ways to establish parity and enhance collaboration with their co-teaching partners. They will have the opportunity to plan together during the afternoon, as well as to apply their learning between the two sessions by planning and teaching a co‐taught lesson.
As a result of this professional learning activity, co-teaching teams will be able to enhance the quality of their partnerships; make decisions about which co‐teaching approach will best help improve student access and outcomes, and: collaboratively plan co‐taught lessons that maximize instructional intensity and include specially designed instruction.
