OUR STORY

Many schools recognize the benefits of co-teaching but struggle with effective implementation. Teachers often need more training in collaboration, and administrators face challenges in sustaining support. That’s where we come in. The FIRST Education Co-Teaching Center was founded to bridge this gap by equipping educators with the skills and confidence to implement co-teaching models that drive student success.

Our team consists of experienced educators and administrators who have worked in co-taught classrooms K-12, understand the complexities of collaboration. We believe in the power of partnership—between general and special educators, between teachers and administrators, and between schools and our team—to drive meaningful and lasting change.

At the FIRST Education Co-Teaching Center, we offer tailored support through workshops, coaching, and consultation to help schools build effective co-teaching programs. Whether you're looking to enhance collaboration, refine instructional strategies, or strengthen classroom support, we’re here to help.

MISSION

We empower educators with research-based strategies, hands-on coaching, and collaborative support to implement effective co-teaching models that drive student success.
