Mentoring teacher candidates using co-teaching Workshop 1 | Co-Teaching Foundations

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

The co-teaching foundations online workshop provides background information about the TERI initiative and 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).
