Hi, I’m Michelle

M.E. La Monte, Ph.D.

I help educators design inclusive schools by providing them with the best tools of the trade. I developed this site to help those interested to co-teaching. As an educational consultant and educator development coach, I work directly with administrators, teachers, and support staff in the areas of collaboration, inclusion and evidence based instruction.  I provide practical, effective, and efficient tools and knowledge for inclusive classrooms.

My world-class academic training and years of real-world teaching experience place me at an excellent vantage point.  I know firsthand what it is like to be in the classroom every day.  I spent more than a decade in the classroom as a special education teacher, with many of those years in team-taught environments.  Not only do I have specialized knowledge about the everyday classroom experience for teachers and students, but also the trained eye of a researcher; with the ability to look at circumstances and data from an analytical and research based framework.

I have worked with a variety of groups with a variety of needs.  My experience ranges from multi-day workshops with over 100 special and general educators to half-day trainings with small professional learning communities.
