Rethinking Co-Teaching: Unlocking its Full Potential
Co-teaching is often reduced to "one teach, one assist," where the special education teacher plays a passive role. This common approach limits access to rigorous instruction and prevents students from reaching their full potential. It’s time to rethink co-teaching.
Are your co-teaching practices reaching their full potential? Research shows that the common approach—"one teach, one assist"—results in minimal impact, often leaving students with disabilities further behind. But when done right, co-teaching can be a game-changer, providing access to rigorous, grade-level instruction and boosting student success.
Our professional development transforms co-teaching into a powerful strategy that improves outcomes by:
✔️ Empowering teachers to collaborate as equal partners
✔️ Implementing proven models like team teaching and parallel teaching
✔️ Keeping students in the classroom with access to rigorous, grade-level content
With tailored workshops, coaching, and practical support, we help you shift from "checkbox co-teaching" to a high-impact instructional practice that benefits every learner.
Let’s reimagine what co-teaching can be — and unlock its full potential for your students.
