TEAM TEACHING

Session 2: Collaborative Teaching

Discuss

What is collaborative team teaching?

Collaborative Teaching Definition

In Collaborative Teaching, team teachers work together to teach the material not by the usual monologue, but by exchanging and discussing ideas and theories in front of the learners.

Collaborative Teaching Example

In the one class, teacher1 teaches about the digestive system, how it works, its parts (L1). In the second class, teacher 2 develops a model of the digestive system and practice its functioning.

• Students learn about the topic.

• Students practice with the topic.

The students then create their own model, and explain it in each class L1, and they are evaluated in L2.
