		Collaboration, Team Work, and Mentoring ^Votes:0 Collaboration, Teamwork, and Mentoring In "Mentoring for Teachers: The Collaborative Approach," McCann and Radford (1993) address the importance of collaboration, teamwork, and mentoring among school staff and between staff and administrators. They identify three characteristics needed for successful collaborative work: Educational Leadership. School leaders must genuinely support and encourage collaboration in order to foster a positive learning environment for teachers: "Educational leaders should share with teachers a disciplined curiosity about teaching and join with them in mastering and advancing this complex human activity." (p. 43) Time. Time is important because schools should not always expect the quantity of work to increase with the quality of work. That is, the focus Read More Go to Site

		III. BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE TEACHING TEAM ^Votes:0 III. BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE TEACHING TEAM PLANNING WITH YOUR PARTNERS While classroom participation is only one of the partnership activities, it's a prominent one and requires careful preparation. This section provides team members with suggestions for effectively preparing their classroom activities. Although planning can take place anywhere, meeting at the school site will give you a feel for the classroom, students and context. While meeting with your team partners it is important to consider: WHO ARE THE STUDENTS? What is the class size, their ages, grade level and maturity? What do they know about the law and what are their interests, life experiences and issues? Your presentation should be related to what students know and to questions that interest them.

But so far as it is more than verbal it is a plan for conducting education. Like any plan, it must be framed with reference to what is to be done and how it is to be done." --John Dewey I n the first chapter, I stated that interdisciplinary team teaching requires some degree of collaboration. Team teaching will vary in the amount of collaboration that actually takes place in general, but also specifically with regard to planning, content integr Read More Go to Site

		Shall We Dance? Team Teaching and the Harmony of Collaboration (H. Beavers & D. DeTurck) - Almanac, Vol. 46, No. 30, 4/25/2000 ^Votes:0 Talk About Teaching Shall We Dance? Team Teaching and the Harmony of Collaboration By Herman Beavers and Dennis DeTurck Team teaching is a little like participating in a semester-long jam session, where musicians who share a deep love for the material they play decide to explore its possibilities with little regard for the dangers. It can be a very exciting and spontaneous way to impart information, for students to witness intellectual exchange "on the fly," and to cover large amounts of seemingly disparate material. At its best, it can be a very powerful way of dismantling the outmoded notion that teaching is a matter of one individual's mastery of a specialized subject matter. But when it falters, it can be frustrating for students who may have never experienced a team-taught c Read More Go to Site

Lee, Primary School Teacher, Palo Alto Unified School District I had been teaching a first/second grade combination at Escondido Elementary school on the Stanford campus (serving mainly children of graduate students from around the world attending Stanford University) when I got the opportunity to team teach with Keith Libert, a teacher who came to the Palo Alto Unified School District the same year I did. I jumped at the chance. We would each be teaching a third/fourth combination class, and our principal knew that we wanted to work closely together.

		Teachers.Net Focus Session - Team Teaching ^Votes:0 Teachers.Net Focus Wednesday, February 10, 1999 Team Teaching with Alan and Patty Engle (Spouses who team teach) Sponsored by In Education Alan - Good evening all. Patty and I welcome you to tonights forum on Team Teaching. We are a husband and wife teaming team in suburban Orlando, Florida. We might add that we also teach in a 4/5 multiage classroom. We team teach in the truest sense of the word -- 56 students and two teachers, sharing all teaching and student responsibilities equally. We hope to dispell some misbeliefs about team teaching, as well as provide some insight to our experiences as a part of a teaching team -- even before we taught together. A shameless plug -- you can find us also at our new web site www.twoteach.com , a resource for educators, students, and parents. Patty - Read More Go to Site

		Teaching Together ^Votes:0 MERIDIAN, Idaho? Anyone unconvinced about the merits of "teaming" during the middle school years should talk with a group of teachers at Meridian Middle School here. Jackie Sherman, founder and president of the Idaho Middle School Association, says that forming teams of teachers who work with the same groups of students throughout the year makes sense for all involved?teachers, parents, and, most importantly, students. The benefits for students are academic as well as social and behavioral. "With teaming, fewer students will fall through the cracks," Sherman says. "Anything that happens with these kids, we pretty much know about as a team. We know our kids." Sherman, a language arts teacher, also is the leader of a five-member teaching team at Meridian. For 45 minutes each day, Sherman and Read More Go to Site

		Team Teaching ^Votes:0 Team Teaching: a "junior" Partner's Perspective Linda Turner University teaching is still a fairly new experience for me, and most colleagues will be able to empathize with the range of emotions, which are evoked when it is our "first time around". In the fall of 1999, I had the privilege of joining well-seasoned Social Work Professor Sandra deVink-Leblanc in a bout of "team teaching" for the Department. The course, ScWk 3013 Field Instruction I (A) is held full days twice a week for ten weeks, in preparation for the students entering field placements. The course is pivotal within the professional years of the Bachelor of Social Work Programme, as the content provides an orientation and apprenticeship to the profession, while fostering a spirit of cohesion and Read More Go to Site

In 1965 a new set of official guide lines was put into effect which stated specifically that USAO should identify fresh and viable approaches to the problems of higher education and-employ interdisciplinary methods of instruction. As part of an extensive institutional revision begun at the time, a forty-one credit hour interdisciplinary core sequence was developed to be completed by all graduates. Theoretically all courses within the IDS Program are tearn-taught, but occasional deviations from this pattern occur Read More Go to Site
