Working to Support the Inclusion of All People in Schools and Communities
NEW Multi-District PD Series
Next Up: Co-Teaching Planning Intensive
October 26, 2026: 9:00 am-3:00 pm @ East Williston School District- The Wheatley School
Participants will review best practices in co-teaching with a focus on small-group instruction, strengthening partnership, and deepening understanding of small-group models. Participants should come ready to plan for upcoming units/lessons with the targeted support of our workshop facilitators. Participants will leave having planned lessons that best utilize both co-teachers' expertise and prioritize the needs of their students.
Our Process
We have learned how to optimize professional development for effectiveness and giving our clients a meaningful, rich experience. While we craft a plan individually for each client, we have developed an overall process that provides for optimal success.
Planning Services
Schools or districts that are interested in implementing system-wide change benefit from this service. Our processes assist you in creating a shared vision, developing a time-line, and establishing concrete action steps and accountability.
Workshops
Our dynamic, hands-on workshops provide concrete, practical strategies. During each workshop, our coaches model the strategies being taught. All co-teaching workshops are co-taught. Each workshop is fun, interactive and engaging, with differentiated approaches to learning. Participants have the opportunity to plan how they will apply the strategies they learned to their classroom, content area and/or team.
Coaching
Lakretz Creative Support Services offers Classroom Coaching, Study Group Facilitation and Individual Student Study and Support.
