STARTING A CO-TEACHING MODEL FROM SCRATCH
A Podcast with Tan Huynh
Dr. Holly Porter shares how her district moved entirely from pull-out to fully co-teaching. This conversation provides practical advice at the district level and can also be applied to schools that want to move away from pull-out to co-teaching.

ABOUT
While there are many articles, books and other resources available that provide support with the logistical aspects of co-teaching, our consulting and professional learning supports include the missing component of how co-teaching adds value to not only the students, but the classroom, the teachers, the school and the district.
Co-teaching is transformational when all aspects are done with purpose and focus. Our experience and success has shown that co-teaching programming must be intentionally designed around the following three goals:
1) Access to grade level content
2) Explicit language development (for multilingual learners) or explicit focus on IEP goals (for students with special needs)
3) Building the capacity of both co-teachers
Getting at the heart of how to use these three goals to intentionally design your co-teaching programming for the success of your learners is the purpose of our work.
OUR SERVICES
Expertise. Experience. Relationships.
We have been implementing co-teaching as our instructional model since 2007. We have been awarded the Colorado ELPA (English Language Proficiency Act) Excellence Award for our evidenced-based program that has achieved high English language and academic growth and high academic achievement among English Learners and our director received the Colorado Language Culture and Equity Director of the Year award. Others may learn from the approach we have taken and implement something similar. We have built longstanding relationships with districts of all sizes and stages of implementation and have supported them in their co-teaching journeys.
We look forward to partnering with you!
