Co-teaching and Collaboration for the School Based SLP

SLP

This is an introductory course that will provide you with valuable information about the benefits of co-teaching for SLPs, teachers, and students. It is a great starting point if you have never co-taught, aren’t sure where to start, or are curious about how to incorporate it into your practice. Even if you are already using co-teaching in your practice, this course will provide you with fresh examples and routines that you can try with your students right away. During the course, you will be provided with several tried and true ideas and examples on ways to co-teach in a preschool setting, general education setting, special education setting, as well as strategies for working with upper grade levels.
