FAQS

What if I can't attend the live sessions?

You will get lifetime access to the recorded sessions. So no worries if you have other things you’d like to do when we are gathering live. Join us for all or some of each session, wait until your kids are asleep and binge watch, or you can check-it out as part of an existing PLC organized by your district or program. You and your co-teacher can also save and replay during “date night”. 

Will the live sessions be recorded?

Yep! And you’ll have lifetime access to them. Each live session will be posted to your dashboard within 48 hours of the live event.

Do I have to come with a co-teacher?

Nope! However, we’d love it if you and your co-teacher could do this together. For those who are Inclusion Facilitators and Itinerant teachers, we’d love for you to invite one or more of the teachers you support to join you on this adventure.

Where will it be?

We’ll be live via the ZOOM app…and don’t worry! If you are zoomed out…this isn’t your typical ZOOM meeting or boring professional development. We promise!

You can turn your camera on or or leave it off. You can sit on your couch, or bed, or at your kitchen table. The dress code is comfy and we plan on having tons of fun.

What do I need to do to prepare?

No preparation necessary. Come with your biggest challenges to co-teaching at the ready and we will help you find solutions and support. Feel free to bring your coffee, wear your PJs, heck have a mimosa. Just be ready to learn co-teaching strategies, structures, and be inspired by what is possible!

We’ll invite you to a customized and private dashboard ahead time. You are welcome to explore or just take a peek. You’ll also be invited to a private Facebook community. You can join at any time.
