Co-Teachers in Classrooms Getting Coffee (Season 2 Episode 10)
In our last episode, Katie Wright and Mandy Seeberger, Algebra 1 co-teachers from Giles High School, mentioned how Anne Beninghof’s book, Specially Designed Instruction: Increasing Success for Students with Disabilities, has impacted their teaching this school year. In today’s discussion, we delve deeper into topics that came up during that conversation including being reflective teachers, intentionally planning with SDI in mind, and encouraging metacognitive skills in our students. Here are links to some resources mentioned:
Katie and Mandy are one of the statewide co-teaching demonstration sites: 2024-2025 Excellence in Co-Teaching Demonstration Sites.
In our next episode (coming in early March), we will interview Keli Bradbury and Suzanne Graham to find out more about their personal experiences with co-teaching and the support they provided to Katie and Mandy.
