What is Team Teaching?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.
They share insights, argue with one another, and perhaps even challenge students to decide which approach is better.

Test Your EMS Skills:
The following are scenarios to test your EMS skills. Take a moment to talk with the members of your table about the best way(s) to deal with these emergency situations.
Scenario IJohnnie’s current achievement is estimated at
level 1 with an 8.0 % Level III Achievement Probability. He has low reading and math skills. Johnnie is a very quiet student and often gets “ looked over” by teachers. Describe strategies used to help Johnnie.
Scenario IISarah scored above 85% on the first two tests.
She seems disinterested in class and says that the class is boring. She is a high achieving student who’s predicted level is Level IV on your subject area test. Discuss strategies to keep Sarah engaged.
Scenario IIIMrs. Linda Lecture is a veteran teacher with
perfect classroom management. Students are always in their seats with desks kept in their neat rows. During a recent district subject area benchmark, 52% of Mrs. Lecture’s students met standards. Discuss some high-yield instructional strategies that could be used to increase student proficiency to 85 %.
Scenario IVYour class just took a unit assessment and
40% of the students mastered unit goals. What are some strategies that you could put in place for the 60% who did not master the unit? What are some artifacts that you could collect to ensure mastery?
Scenario VDiscuss various ways you could assess the
knowledge of your students to ensure that they have met the mastery goal.
Thank you for your attention and willingness to hear our story. We are a work in progress, but our determination and tenacity for excellence will keep us working towards 100% in every subject area.
