Practical Ideas and Strategies

As educators, we're teaching an increasingly diverse student population, including students with disabilities and other special needs. With increased expectations that these students access the general curriculum and make progress toward reaching high academic standards, our challenge is to meet the needs of all students without neglecting any of them. One of the best ways to accomplish this goal is to partner professionals in the classroom through co-teaching. Co-teaching has the potential to help educators create classrooms that recognize and effectively address a tremendous range of student diversity by drawing on the differing, yet complementary, expertise of both general and special educators or ELL teachers.

In this seminar, Nicole Eredics will provide the key elements necessary to begin a co-teaching program or refine and sustain an existing one. She will offer practical, classroom proven ideas to help you set realistic expectations for co-teaching and create co-teaching arrangements that preserve a sense of classroom community, while at the same time, giving special educators and ELL teachers an active teaching role. The outcome will be improved results for students!

And since co-teaching is a partnership, teaching teams are encouraged to attend together.

A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

My career as a teacher began years ago with a role that would ultimately shape my educational path, working as a teacher in a multi-age inclusive classroom. It was an initiation into the transformative power of inclusive education, where I discovered the joy of creating a learning space that valued and celebrated the unique strengths of each student. I also discovered what I'm excited to share with you: the incredible power of professional collaboration in the form of co-teaching.

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, co-teaching remains an incredible way to maximize the effectiveness and quality of instruction in any classroom. One of the key strengths of co-teaching is its capacity to leverage the collective expertise of educators. By bringing together the unique skills, experiences, and perspectives of co-teachers, we can enhance the overall quality of instruction. I want to show you how this collaborative effort can result in a learning experience that is richer, more varied, and tailored to the individual needs of every student.

In this seminar, we will delve into the essential principles of co-teaching with an emphasis on providing you with practical strategies to begin a highly effective co-teaching program or refine and sustain an existing one. I'm excited to share a wealth of "bring-right-back" ideas you can seamlessly put into action in your own co-teaching!

Sincerely,
Nicole Eredics

P.S. I encourage you to attend with your co-teaching partner, since together, you'll gain valuable skills and insights to take your co-teaching practice to the next level!
