Teaching & Learning:
Co-Teaching Program
 Initially
part of SIP, SERC’s Co-Teaching Program has grown tremendously
since 1997. Co-teaching is a practical model for effectively addressing
the complex challenge of meeting the diverse learning needs of all
students in general classrooms, including students with disabilities.
Co-teaching can also provide a lower student-teacher ratio that
optimizes student learning. Training is centered on six

practices, and pragmatics of each approach. Technical assistance
is provided to teams as they implement and practice co-teaching
strategies.

this: “It’s a lot more complicated than we realized
working with 16 other nations on a project of this magnitude. It’s
