For the past two days, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dedicated teachers Co-teaching at Woodington Middle School. Their Principal, Diane Heath, is doing her best to support the teachers through their Inclusion and Co-teaching initiative. Yesterday, we covered co-teaching strategies and personality styles. Everyone dug right in and worked with the material finding ways to use the information in their classrooms. I love it when I have the opportunity to work with motivated teachers!Woodington Teachers devised a mnemonic to highlight the key components of managing behavior when working with small groups and flexible grouping.

Today, teachers got in three small groups to do an adapted jigsaw about how to manage small groups and flexible groups in the classroom as well as how to develop and run Acceleration Centers TM to support varied levels of learners in the Inclusion classroom. It was so exciting to watch how the groups developed their teaching strategies and mind maps to teach the other groups about their section. See the pictures from the group!
