Join Nicole Heaver (middle school STEM teacher) and Joanie Thrush (5th/6th grade teacher) from Central Intermediate School in Ottawa, Illinois, as they share their combined 35+ years of co-teaching wisdom. With Nicole's 8 years co-teaching special education and 6 years with science teachers, plus Joanie's 15+ years in reading, math, and science co-teaching, these hosts know what really works.
Discover the 5 essential strategies that transform co-teaching from chaos to collaboration: mastering different communication styles, respecting diverse teaching approaches, defining clear roles, embracing flexibility when students (and life) throw curveballs, and creating physical space that shows students you're truly partners.
Whether you're new to co-teaching or looking to strengthen existing partnerships, this episode delivers practical, field-tested advice from educators who've navigated every co-teaching challenge imaginable.
