You must log in to view sessions Teacher Education (TED) Junior/Senior High School Practice-Oriented Short Workshop

Some teachers interpret effective team teaching between JTEs and ALTs as equal input. However, this ideology is different from reality and deeply flawed. Part one of this workshop explains the causes of the common input imbalance and why an equal input is impractical. Part two explores how understanding and respect for the differences are crucial to effective team teaching. Practical ideas on how the two teachers can complement each other inside and outside of class are introduced.
