Early Childhood Co-Teaching Magic in Barberton City

Co-teaching in a preschool setting is not a common configuration, but one that is extremely powerful when attempting to meet the needs of a classroom that spans many ages and developmental needs. As there has been a push toward serving young children with disabilities in typical early learning environments, rather than special education classrooms, co-teaching has become an increasingly important strategy for ensuring a full continuum of services for preschoolers with disabilities. Today, we’re thrilled to speak with two educators in Barberton City Schools about how to make co-teaching magic in early childhood: Sheila McGhee, Barberton Preschool Director, and Raetina Giovanini, Barberton Preschool Intervention Specialist. Co-Hosts: Mike Kaschak and Tracy Mail, SST8 Educational Consultants
