SUCCESSFUL INCLUSIVE PRACTICES: CO-TEACHING

Successful Inclusive Practices: Improving Student Outcomes through Co-teaching

Co-teaching implemented with fidelity has a profound impact on a range of learners with and without disabilities from a variety of cultures. The instructional practices highlighted in this session have been successfully applied within both rural and urban settings, and have also been utilized to improve student engagement. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the need for focused collaboration in order to enrich the inclusive environment and vastly improve the capacity of schools to provide high quality educational opportunities for students with disabilities. This interactive workshop will address: (1) roles and strategies to maximize the power that two teachers with varying strengths and backgrounds can have on student engagement, learning and achievement (2) differentiation instructional strategies to meet the needs of all learners. Participants will leave this interactive workshop with practical resources on how to effectively co-plan, co-instruct, and co-assess, incorporate innovative technology, and utilize differentiated instruction to increase student success.

*Note - A Train-the-Trainer Workshop model is also available for school leaders, instructional coaches & teacher leaders.*
