Due to COVID-19 and shifts in school structure, we recognize that this school year may look different for our cooperating teachers and teacher candidates. However, we do believe co-teaching is still possible. We have provided the additional resource, Co-Teaching Strategies During Remote Learning (opens new window), and recommend that the co-teaching pair discuss and imagine how these strategies will look in their current context. Workshop 1 only needs to be completed once. Workshop 2 will be repeated with each co-teaching pair.

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

• Understanding 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).
