True Team Teaching: A taxonomy and Pathway for Cross-Disciplinary Practice
Track
Research Proposal / Learning Theories and Pedagogy
Abstract
Many faculty members indicate that they team-teach courses, but operationally that term takes on many forms. We propose a taxonomy of team teaching ranging from co-teaching (the course is divided, and individuals teach content in isolation from one another) to True Team Teaching (the instructors collaborate fully on content, they attend and participate in every class, and make decisions together). During this interactive presentation, participants will experience the different types of team teaching and discover why it is imperative to identify the type before delving into a partnership.
