TEAM TEACHING - INVOLVES A GROUP OF INSTRUCTORS
WORKING PURPOSEFULLY, REGULARLY, AND COOPERATIVELY TO HELP A GROUP OF
STUDENTS OF ANY AGE LEARN. TEACHERS TOGETHER SET GOALS FOR A COURSE,
DESIGN A SYLLABUS, PREPARE INDIVIDUAL LESSON PLANS, TEACH STUDENTS, AND
EVALUATE THE RESULTS.

students on their achievement of the learning goals; students evaluate faculty members on their teaching
proficiency.

The Six Team Teaching Models:
Station Teaching
Station teaching allows each teacher to work with smaller groups of students. The teachers divide the
students into groups and create activities for the students to engage with the lesson material along with the
assistance of a teacher. These stations can involve the teaching of new content, reinforcement of previously
learned material, or challenging activities for students that are ready.
Parallel Teaching
In this model, the teachers divide the class in half. Each teacher works with one of the groups of students,
teaching the exact same content. Teachers can decide to divide the group randomly, or to divide the class
according to readiness level for the lesson or preferred learning style.
Teaming
This approach involves both teachers working together to deliver instruction to the same group of students at
the same time.
