TEAMS OF 2 ARE REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION

4-Day Series: February 12 & 13, March 8 & April 23

Presenters: Tracy Elger, Diane Jense, Tere Masiarchin

Cost: $425/person includes lunch 

3 on-site coaching visits will be included as part of this workshop and scheduled after the first workshop date

Description: Inclusion is more than a place and co-teaching is more than two teachers in one room. Both require thoughtful, intentional planning for delivery of high quality instruction designed for each student to maximize learning within the general education setting.  All students are general education students first and the collaboration of expertise from all staff is necessary to improve outcomes for all of our students. As classrooms move to co-teaching models for their English Learners and students in Special Education, co-planning is an essential component for effective co-teaching.  To close gaps in student outcomes, collaboration of resources and instructional strategies is essential in meeting the needs of all learners.

  • Establish a foundation for co-teaching and identify why co-teaching is one approach in designing inclusive practices where all students experience success with universal curriculum

  • Understand models in co-teaching specifically looking at small group models

  • Identify strategies for effective co-planning

  • Apply high impact instructional strategies to universal curriculum

  • Use formative and summative assessment outcomes to determine next steps and evaluate instructional strategies

  • Consider how specially designed instruction can be intentionally incorporated into the general education setting

  • Consider how linguistic supports can be internationally incorporated into the general education setting to support English Learners
