Co-Teaching for Change: Strategies That Make a Difference

As a school leader, you recognise that effective collaboration among teachers, assistants, and support staff is crucial for fostering inclusive, high-quality learning. Yet in many classrooms, co-teaching lacks structure, leaving roles unclear and students without the full benefit of shared expertise. This concise, 4-hour course equips your team with a clear, practical framework to leverage co-teaching as a powerful tool for learning. Designed for teaching assistants, co-teachers, learning support staff, and language support teachers, it offers concrete strategies to collaborate smoothly, from planning to instruction to assessment. FOR YOUR SCHOOL, THE BENEFITS ARE IMMEDIATE. When adults in the classroom work in a coordinated and confident way, your students receive clearer explanations, better differentiation, and more targeted support. Lessons become smoother, classroom management improves, and the pressure on the lead teacher decreases. Strengthening co-teaching also enhances support for your multilingual learners, your students with additional needs, and your mixed-ability groups, making instruction more responsive and inclusive. INVESTING IN THIS COURSE HELPS YOU BUILD A MORE COHESIVE PROFESSIONAL CULTURE. Your staff gain shared tools, shared models, and shared language that reduce misunderstandings and maximise the impact of your existing resources. Instead of working in parallel, co-teachers learn to operate as a unified team, improving learning outcomes across the school. Course modules include: – Introduction to co-teaching – Co-teaching models – Collaborative planning strategies – Observation and evaluation tools Give your team the clarity and confidence they need to collaborate effectively and provide richer, more inclusive learning experiences for every student.
