The effects of collective teacher efficacy are an incredible resource in and out of the classroom! Utilizing it through co-teaching and exploring job shares is one way educators can maintain their passion for teaching and connection to education while minimizing the impacts the career can have on our physical and mental health along with our personal life. In this session, there will be discussions about how co-teaching can support educators in extending their careers, how to collaborate with co-teachers to share the workload while making positive impacts on student learning across all grade levels and content areas, how to propose a job share to your district and work through the logistics of the partnership, and the additional benefits a job share can bring to union negotiations.
