Our Co-teaching Matrix© is an integral part of our LAVOULLE GROUP Educational Services. The Co-Teaching Matrix is designed to create successful implementation and sustainability of co-teaching.
Moving from compliance to effective instruction, the Co-Teaching Matrix © provides support for both general and special education teachers. This series teaches the preferred co-teaching models that reduce student teacher ratio and follows the Standards Based Classroom Framework.
