This professional learning session will focus on strengthening effective co-teaching practices through the models of Alternative Teaching and Parallel Teaching. Participants will explore how both approaches can increase student engagement, provide targeted support, and improve access to grade-level instruction within the least restrictive environment. The session will include practical examples, collaborative planning strategies, and intentional differentiation techniques designed to meet diverse learner needs while maximizing the impact of both educators in the classroom.
Instructional Assistants are often the steady presence students rely on during reading and writing time and a key partner for teachers to help keep learning on track. So what does strong support from an instructional assistant look like in literacy instruction? In this session, participants will explore practical ways instructional assistants can reinforce routines, support student behavior, and keep learners engaged during ELA content, helping create more focused, productive classroom environments where literacy learning can thrive.

This session is focused on ensuring all students and families can access your digital content in alignment with the new DOJ requirements and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We will review the core "must-dos" for educators, including adding alt-text to images, utilizing proper heading structures, and ensuring high-contrast colors and fonts in your materials. During the session, we will provide live demonstrations on how to use the built-in Course Accessibility Tool to audit your Canvas pages and how to build ParentSquare templates that are fully accessible for all families. The remainder of the time is yours to apply these practices to your own digital resources with instructional technology specialists on hand to answer specific questions and provide personalized support. Please bring your laptop and a sample of your current digital materials to work on during this collaborative workshop.
