Co-Teaching to Support All Learners - EDC-X774X

Course Description

Credit Validation for DoDEA Participants Only

This two-credit graduate course is designed for teachers, administrators, and Instructional Support Specialists (ISSs) to build capacity in co-teaching models and instructional strategies that support the academic needs of all learners across content areas and grade levels.

Each of the five modules includes a local face-to-face session facilitated by a Multilingual Learner Program Teacher Leader at each complex. For school complexes without a local facilitator, a virtual teacher leader or ISS will facilitate the live sessions via MS Teams. Access to supplemental materials will be provided during the live sessions.
