Co-Teaching

From Jennifer Martin
We were fortunate to have Dr. Richard Villa in our district for training with teachers and administrators during the 15-16 school year. Since that time, we have further strengthened the resources that are available in the district to address co-teaching as an effective instructional strategy.

If you would like building-level professional development, we have a team of co-teaching coaches available. Please contact Danita Long (Danita.long@kckps.org) to schedule initial training or get details about how the team can further support co-teaching in your building.
