Team teaching...it's a partnership!


            Team teaching gives students a chance to witness modeling of the lesson from their teachers. This approach to teaching is interactive and engaging.  Team teaching requires extensive preparation otherwise it will not be effective in the classroom. Teachers must work well together for this approach to be meaningful. Activities such as role-playing, debating, and simulated models are the most interactive ways of team teaching.

                            CHALLENGES
