Day 1 | The Power of Two: Unlocking the Co-Teaching Advantage for Every Student
Focus: Partnership, Co-Instructional Models, and Collaborative Planning
Join us for a high-energy day dedicated to transforming your teaching partnership into a powerhouse of student achievement. Move beyond “one teach, one assist” and master co-instructional models that drive results in diverse classrooms. You’ll leave with a practical, “Monday-Ready” toolkit of co-planning strategies designed to maximize impact without adding hours to your workday.
Key Takeaways:
- Master the Models: Effectively implement high-impact co-teaching structures, including Station, Parallel, and Alternative Teaching.
- The Power Balance: Establish clear roles and shared ownership so both educators function as equal instructional leaders.
- The 15-Minute Co-Plan: Use streamlined planning routines to co-design instruction efficiently within a busy school schedule.
- Instant Differentiation: Leverage the two-teacher advantage to provide real-time accommodations and specially designed instruction (SDI).: Classroom Management, Student Discovery, and Discussion Protocols
Day 2 | Ignite Engagement: Managing and Collaborating for Active Learning
Join us for an action-packed workshop designed for K–12 educators ready to move from teacher-led instruction to student-driven discovery. Whether you are a first-year teacher or a veteran, this session provides a masterclass in balancing effective classroom management with high-level inquiry. You’ll leave with a “Monday-Ready” toolkit of engagement structures that turn passive observers into intellectual leaders.
Key Takeaways:
- The Architecture of Flow: Use engagement-based management to minimize downtime and eliminate unnecessary transitions, while sustaining momentum during student-centered learning.
- Active Learning Toolkit: Incorporate low-prep strategies (e.g., A–Z response tools and discussion routines) to ensure 100% participation across all learners.
- Radical Belonging: Create an inclusive classroom culture that values student identity and voice, fostering trust and meaningful participation.
- Student Collaboration: Structure purposeful collaboration and discussion so students actively learn from one another. Clear roles and protocols support deeper thinking and accountability.
Outcome:
Across both days, educators will gain practical strategies to strengthen instructional partnerships and create highly engaging, student-centered classrooms that support all learners.
