Is Team Teaching Right for Me?
If you’ve thought about team teaching with a colleague, you’ve no doubt already considered some of the positives (collaboration, collegiality, work sharing) and the potential negatives (conflict, inconsistency, division of labor).
You can learn how to enjoy the former while avoiding the latter in this Magna 20 Minute Mentor led by Ike Shibley, Ph.D., associate professor at Penn State Berks and a veteran of more than a decade of successful team teaching.
This fast-paced professional development program will provide valuable insights on:
- The benefits of team teaching for both students and faculty.
- What kinds of courses are best suited to team teaching.
- How to test the waters via learning communities and “linked” courses.
- How to thoroughly explore team teaching with a colleague before committing.
- How to prepare for a team-taught course.
- Which issues are critical to agree on up front.
- How to interact in the classroom.
- How to share responsibilities for grading and other course management duties.
