The Teacher Collaboration Pathway includes:
Co-Teaching & Co-Reflecting
Co-teaching can be one of the most rewarding professional endeavours available to content and language specialists. By collaborating with colleagues, we ensure an equitable learning experience for multilingual learners. There are approaches, frameworks, and strategies to make co-teaching a fruitful experience for teachers and students. Additionally, we can intentionally improve our co-teaching by engaging informal reflections on a consistent basis.

Cultivating Co-Teaching Relationships
We are in a relational industry. We form relationships with students to learn about their interests and to earn their trust. We also form relationships with colleagues to co-teach mulitlingual learners. However, to ensure that teacher collaboration goes well, we must cultivate a foundation of mutual trust and respect. Trust and respect are not given automatically; they are earned through time. Come learn with Tan as he shares how we can cultivate a trusting, encouraging, and rewarding professional relationship with colleagues on behalf of multilinguals.
