In addition to exploring the benefits and challenges of co-teaching, this presentation discusses models for co-teaching and how to avoid common pitfalls. Educators will gain practical strategies and resources for co-teaching and administrators will find useful information for supporting co-teaching partnerships, and creating systems for success.
