Team Teaching
Well planned, team taught lessons, exhibit an invisible of flow of instruction with no prescribed division of authority.
Both teachers are actively involved in the lesson. From a student’s perspective,
there is no clearly defined leader, as both teachers share the instruction, are free to
interject information, and available to assist students and answer questions.
