Co-Teaching for Meaningful Access Synchronous Workshop

Participants may take this course face-to-face, by finding a trainer at their regional education service center. Visit our contact page to find contact information of a trainer in all 20 education service centers.

Participants will learn how to build strong co-teaching partnerships through effective communication, collaborative planning, and shared responsibility for all learners. Explore the six co-teaching approaches and discover when and how to use each model to maximize student access and engagement. The workshop emphasizes integrating high-leverage instructional strategies, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) into co-taught lessons. By the end of the day, participants will leave with actionable tools and strategies to implement and sustain inclusive, high-impact learning environments that meet their students’ needs.

This training is designed for general education and special education teachers seeking to maximize student learning through effective co-teaching partnerships. 

Coaching Support Included

This training includes a coaching component delivered by experts at each regional education service center to help educators apply what they’ve learned with confidence and fidelity. Coaching provides personalized, job‑embedded support grounded in four research‑based practices proven to strengthen instruction: alliance-building, observation, modeling, and performance feedback.

Educators and coaches complete a three‑step coaching cycle—pre‑observation, observation, and performance feedback—to reinforce training content and improve implementation. Coaching is designed to fit flexibly into your existing schedule and enhance your work, not add to it.
