Professional Collaboration

This form is intended for paraeducators, teachers and/or administrators to use to help guide a conversation about classroom procedures, expectations, need, etc. Paraeducators are often moving from classroom to classroom and working with a wide variety of teachers. This form can be used to start a conversation to help avoid any miscommunications. It is recommended to be updated once a year.

The purpose of this resource is to enhance parent engagement in a co-taught classroom. The parent letter and three surveys included in this resource are devised to assist a set of team teachers in building trust and gaining parent/caregiver support in student success in a co-taught class. This resource is informed by current research in family engagement, communication, and the High-Leverage Practices.
