PL-Collaborative Teaching/Planning Initial: Effective Inclusion Practices: 2023-2024 (Instructional Staff New to Co-Teaching) February Cohort: 02/02/24, 8:30-3:30 @ MTI Room 29

Participants will engage in activities to increase their knowledge of research based inclusive practices to meet the needs of students with disabilities. Inclusion teaching partners (1 ESE Inclusion & 1 General Education inclusion teacher) will examine service delivery models and specially designed instructional supports available to serve students with special needs in their least restrictive environment (LRE). Participants will gain a better understanding of effective collaborative roles, structures, and individual working styles as well as the importance of collaborative planning. Teacher “teams” will discuss how these research-based inclusive practices can be effectively implemented in their classrooms to improve outcomes for students with disabilities and non-disabled students as well.
