The Art of Co-Teaching: Level 1, 2 & 3
Level 1: Whether you are co-teaching for the first time or your first year with a new partner, this workshop is for you. Participants will explore the six models of co-teaching, learn pros and cons for each model and practical classroom examples. Easy to implement strategies for team communication and collaboration will be explored. Best practices in co-planning and lesson plan development will be discussed.
Level 2: Is the honeymoon over and you already have some great co-teaching strategies built into your everyday practice? This workshop is for co-teaching teams that have co-taught together for 1-2 years. In this workshop, you will explore variations to the six basic co-teaching models, experience activities that deepen co-teaching knowledge and practices and learn concrete tools to develop team communication strategies further. Develop a concrete plan for making co-teaching changes based on self-evaluation of your current practice and plan lessons that incorporate both new and previously learned techniques and information.
Level 3: You consider yourselves an “old married couple,” and you are confident in all of the basics of co-teaching and some dynamic variations. This workshop is for co-teaching teams that have co-taught together for 3 or more years. In this workshop, you will self-evaluate current co-teaching skills, explore and expand current roles and practices, choose from various new learning topics, set team goals for the implementation of newly acquired strategies and plan lessons that incorporate higher-level information.
Dive Into Differentiation
This workshop will teach the necessary tools for meeting the needs, capacities and skills of the diverse learners in the K-12 classroom. Participants will learn what differentiated instruction is and is not, explore strategies to differentiate the four quadrants of differentiation and plan lessons that incorporate the strategies and information presented. This is perfect for educators looking to learn new differentiation strategies that they can readily incorporate into their classrooms the next day!
Differentiation - Accommodation - Modification: Putting The Pieces Together
Is that a differentiated instruction strategy, an accommodation or a modification? This workshop will clarify this question and offer ways to combine all three within a classroom to support a wide range of learners. You will gain a deeper understanding of differentiated instruction components, explore the need for and implementation of accommodations, learn a paradigm for understanding and creating modifications, and plan lessons that incorporate the information presented.
