SynopsisTeam teaching is a strategy that has been around for years, but creating teams-whether in response to district expectations or as a way of dealing with changes in teaching practice-needs careful thought in order to succeed. While teaming means the partners must reconfigure much of their teaching lives, it can be done successfully, as this book affirms. Chock-full of ideas and insights, Team Teachingdiscusses the social and personal implications of teaming, illuminating the process with first-person vignettes taken from the journals classroom teachers kept to record their experiences. Based on their own stories and those of their colleagues/informants the authors discuss: how and why team teaching succeeds and how elementary school teams differ from teams in middle and secondary schools;how to get started- defining partners' roles, achieving consistency, sharing space and materials, adjusting schedules, and adapting curriculum;the upside - what team teaching can do for you, your colleagues, your students, your school;and the downside -what to do when a team doesn't succeed;the bigger picture- how principals see team teaching and how students and parents respond to it. Appendixes include: a checklist of team teacher issues;a parent survey on teaming;materials for questions and discussion groups about team teaching. Whether you have been part of a team for years, are just starting, or are an administrator who wants to know more about teaming from the inside you will learn a great deal from the insights of this group of Nevada teacher-researchers., Team teaching is a strategy that has been around for years, but creating teams-whether in response to district expectations or as a way of dealing with changes in teaching practice-needs careful thought in order to succeed.
