'25 MSAA Summer Institute

This workshop is for administrators who have a co-teaching program or are looking to develop a co-teaching program in their school. It is designed to help
administrative teams contribute to successful and sustainable co-teaching at their sites and empower teachers to support all students. A co-teaching toolkit and audit tool will be shared as resources for administrative teams. Although the focus is on co-teaching at the secondary level (Middle & High School), concepts can be applied to an Elementary School setting.

Participants will:
● Gain a better understanding of the administrative aspect of supporting successful co-teaching
● Review aspects of co-teaching programming from an administrative perspective and specific supportive strategies
● Build capacity for supporting a co-teaching program
● Discus factors for sustaining a co-teaching program
● Access an administrative Co-Teaching Toolkit
● Review resources and strategies from the Co-Teaching Toolkit
