Co-Teaching in the Mathematics Classroom

This workshop provides educators with research-based strategies for implementing effective co-teaching in mathematics classrooms across all grade levels. Participants explore the foundations of co-teaching, examine multiple instructional models such as parallel teaching and one teach/one assist, and practice applying them to real math scenarios. The training emphasizes collaboration, differentiation, and intentional planning to ensure that all students gain access to rigorous math content while receiving the support they need to succeed.

• Difficulty ensuring equitable roles and responsibilities between co-teachers.
  
  
• Challenges in managing classroom space, timing, and student engagement when two teachers are working simultaneously.
  
  
• Limited strategies for differentiation and meeting diverse student needs in math instruction.
  
  
• Lack of structured planning processes to maximize collaboration and impact.

1. Understanding and Applying Co-Teaching Models – Participants will learn how to implement different co-teaching approaches (parallel teaching, one teach/one assist, station teaching, team teaching, etc.) to lower student-teacher ratios, increase engagement, and provide multiple entry points for problem-solving in mathematics.
   
   
2. Collaboration and Instructional Planning – Educators will gain strategies to strengthen professional collaboration through shared planning, role clarity, and effective communication, ensuring that both teachers contribute actively to instruction.
   
   
3. Differentiation in Math Instruction – Teachers will develop skills to design and deliver differentiated math lessons that accommodate diverse learning needs, use small-group instruction effectively, and maintain high expectations for all learners.
