Team teaching
By Mom4a_and_c

Clip to ScrapBook   
I am at a new school this year. The principal wanted us to try teacm teaching. You would have thought he was asking us to find the cure for cancer. Some of the teachers bucked, complained , and out and out refuserd to
do so.

Another teacher and I ( She is new also. We both transfered from the same school.) teach grades 4 & 3. We have done many projects together.
A plant unit
A skeleton unit
A simple machine unit
An Indian Unit

We are starting a solar system and creative writing unit on Tuesday when we go back to school. We love it. The kids love it. The parents agree
with it also. My kids ask me every day, are we going to work with grade 4. They look forward to spending the last hour of the day together. We work together at least 3 or 4 days a week. It could work with three teachers as well. It takes a lot of pressure off of you when you work with others.

We love it and are planning to continue doind it even though no one else in the building is doing it.

By the way- we now have no principal. He resigned last week. Our head teacher is the acting principal until they hire someone else. She is not for team teaching but, told us she doesn't care what we do as long as no one complains to her about it.
