A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Co-teaching is one of the most powerful tools we have to create inclusive classrooms that work for all students – but it can often be one of the most complex. From figuring out how to share instructional time, to planning efficiently, to meeting the needs of students with IEPs, multilingual learners, and those needing extra support, it can be a lot to manage. Add in different teaching styles, unclear roles, or limited planning time, and it can feel downright overwhelming.

But I'm here to help! I created this seminar because I've lived all these challenges and more as both a co-teacher and coach, AND I've seen what works. When co-teaching is done well, it transforms learning. Students thrive. Partnerships flourish. Success multiplies.

Throughout our day together, I'll share real-world strategies that make co-teaching efficient and effective. We'll tackle the tough stuff: role clarity, planning systems, student grouping, shared routines, and how to bring the best out of two teachers in one room. You'll walk away with practical strategies and a renewed sense of what's possible when we teach together. No matter your grade level, content area, or experience with co-teaching – this seminar is for you.

Take this valuable opportunity to connect with fellow educators who share your commitment to inclusive teaching. I encourage you to bring your co-teaching partner so you can learn and grow together. Side by side we'll address common challenges, explore practical strategies, and build a supportive network that lasts beyond the seminar. You'll leave feeling inspired, equipped, and ready to strengthen your co-teaching partnership to boost student success.

Please join me for a day full of realistic solutions, energizing ideas, and actionable tools to greatly enhance your co-teaching practice!

Sincerely,
Glynis Shulters

P.S. You'll leave with my comprehensive digital resource handbook packed with ready-to-use tools, templates, lesson examples, and much more – to help you build stronger, more effective co-teaching partnerships.
