The Co-Teaching Foundations online workshop provides background information about co-teaching with a focus on the following elements:

  • Understand how co-teaching as a student model came to be
  • Articulate how the co-teaching model differs from the traditional model Identify key research findings and reasons for co-teaching
  • Use common language for co-teaching Implement co-teaching strategies and co-planning strategies
  • Identify roles of triad members
  • Offer ideas to create a welcoming environment for co-teaching

Generally, it takes 1.5-2 hours to review workshop materials and activities.

Upon completion of this workshop, you will be able to submit a short reflection form and download your CEU certificate (2 units).
