At some point in your career — whether you are new to teaching, a veteran, or switching roles — it's likely that you will be asked (or told…) to co-teach. It's also likely that you will receive little to no training on how to effectively collaborate with another educator to best meet your students' needs. This course is the first in a series on BRIDGE-RI to support the implementation of co-teaching. It provides the foundation for the full series and presents the legal, ethical, and research foundations of co-teaching, along with a high-level overview of co-teaching models.

- Identify and communicate why co-teaching is necessary.
