Program: Capital District Regional Partnership Center
Audience: Co-teach Teams
Dates: 8/31/2026
NewThis training is designed for co-teach teams and uses three components to build a comprehensive foundation in effective co-teaching practices. Participants will begin by gaining a foundational understanding of co-teaching as a service delivery model, including the six models used for implementation. Particular attention to integrated co-teaching, the model most often associated with special education in New York State, will be a focus, as well as its use among other service providers (ie. English as a New Language (ENL) teachers, speech language pathologists, etc), and the variations in how these models can be applied. From there, the training covers the three key components of an effective co-teaching partnership: co-respect, co-responsibility, and co-planning, and why building and sustaining that partnership through ongoing reflective practice is essential to optimizing student learning. Finally, participants will focus on co-planning itself, gaining knowledge in purposeful co-planning and applying it to plan a lesson for current or future use. While co-teaching can be applied whenever two teachers provide instruction together, co-teaching teams are encouraged to attend as a pair, though individual teachers will also benefit.
