Next-Level Co-Teaching DEC Member Special

This three-part virtual series is designed for PreK-12th grade general education teachers, special educators, paraprofessionals, and related service providers.

Yes! This Series Goes Beyond the Classroom Teacher's Role

Co-teaching isn’t just about two classroom teachers.

In many schools, collaboration includes:

• itinerant teachers supporting across multiple classrooms
• related service providers co-serving, and
• paraprofessionals supporting access and engagement

This series is designed to support all of those roles, so teams can move from “helping” to truly sharing responsibility.

Next-Level Co-Teaching is a three-part virtual series is designed for educators, itinerant staff, related service providers, and paraprofessionals who want co-teaching and co-serving to work in real classrooms.

• Session 1: Co-Teaching with Purpose—Relationships and Access
• Session 2: Intentional Co-Teaching Models That Actually Work
• Session 3: Co-Teaching That Lasts—Clarity, Collaboration, and Sustainability

Participants will engage with and apply ideas from the book 30 Days to the Co-Taught Classroom, using it as a shared anchor for discussion, reflection, and practical planning. Across three 90-minute sessions, we’ll explore what co-teaching really is, why it works, and how to use high-impact co-teaching models to support all learners.

This three-part virtual series is designed for general education teachers, special educators, paraprofessionals, and related service providers across all levels of co-teaching experience. The series emphasizes realistic planning, shared instructional responsibility, purposeful small-group instruction, and strategies that work even when time, staffing, and resources are limited.
