Working with Classroom Partners

In inclusion settings, and more specifically in ICT classrooms, there may be many classroom partners working to support students and instructors. You will encounter the term “Classroom Professional” frequently in GIVE resources; this term refers to school staff working with teaching artists in the classroom. This could include subject area teachers, special education teachers, and any type of related service provider. “Classroom Partner” resources extend beyond classroom professionals to also include caregiver involvement, and information for a teaching artist working in a co-teaching model with another artist.
