How to Co-Teach Online

Announcing….

I kept hearing that teachers are scrambling for practical strategies for distance education that address students’ diverse needs in all kinds of home situations. So…I created a 5 step process!

Since February, I have been soaking up webinars, publications, and resource lists published by national experts and organizations. I have watched the websites for the districts I’m consulting with and state communications. When they had some time to catch a breath, I spoke via zoom with some school leaders and inclusion coaches.

I’m so inspired by those who hit the ground running. Their capacity to grasp the big picture and anticipate thorny challenges has stretched my thinking. Their whole-hearted caring for faculty and staff, for families, and kids has rekindled my faith in our educational system.

Schools have reached out to families and students to reassure them that their network is still there – that the building may be closed, but teachers still care. On social media, I saw schools launching silly spirit week themes and inviting students to post pictures. I saw pictures of masked principals and secretaries distributing devices at curbside.

I want to contribute some helpful solutions. I want to help YOU manage the situation effectively and gracefully because your influence will impact so many others. So I created a free live webinar with specific practical steps. I hope you’ll join me! 

• First, I’ll describe 4 mistakes that teachers might make in how they view this situation.

• Then I’ll explain 5 practical steps to co-teach online.

• I’ll illustrate with some teacher examples.

• And I’ll send a link to a downloadable Planning Guide.

Last I checked, 21 states have recommended or ordered schools closed for the remainder of the school year. We have to map a contingency plan, folks!
