Somers Central School District co-teachers recently gathered together to participate in a class entitled, “Co-teaching Strategies” facilitated by Marianna Breglio, Andrea Hayden and Carolyn Shilinski. For three days teachers learned about various co-teaching models and methodologies, and spoke about the mindset of being a co-teacher.
