EDTS 511 - Co-Teaching Strategies (3)

Co-teaching can have enormous benefits for both you and your students. However, co-teaching requires careful planning and coordination to ensure that students receive unified, cohesive instruction-and that you and your co-teachers have a smooth, stress-free experience.

In this course, you will learn strategies and best practices for how to build a successful instructional team that can effectively meet the diverse needs of today’s classrooms. You’ll examine six different co-teaching models and how to best apply them in your context, and you’ll also gather tools for effective classroom management, lesson planning, and differentiation in a co-teaching classroom. In addition, you’ll learn how to define the various co-teaching roles and responsibilities; plan for and execute instruction to optimize learning in a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework; and establish and maintain a positive rapport with your co-teaching partners and students for a powerful and engaging learning experience.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources you need to co-teach successfully and create positive student and teacher outcomes.
