TEAM TEACHING AND ITS RELEVANCE TODAY
Team teaching is a popular method where two or more teachers are involved in the teaching of a topic to students .This is also known as Co-teaching. During the process of team teaching, teachers form a group ,gather resources, plan teaching and implement the plan together. Team teaching is all about cooperation and good organization. It aims to achieve effective teaching-learning circumstances. In this method, different aspects of a topic is taught by more than two teachers one by one.
Developed in the 1960s in Europe, team teaching has always been regarded as one of the effective techniques in teaching. In fact, its need and relevance has increased to the great extent in the present era. There has been a tremendous rise in the number of students in the last few decades but a general lack of quality educators has been witnessed all over the world. Besides this , technological developments in the field of education has already turned education into a team affair. Due to expansion of curricula , new subjects and topics have been added to the scope of human knowledge. Eventually the need for specialized educators on each subject is increasing. Educational psychology has also revolutionized the traditional teaching- learning situation. The modern classroom, today, must have to be an inclusive classroom where everyone’s capability is addressed with care and caution. Team teaching , in such circumstances , proves to be one of the strongest and most strategic weapons to deal with the issues that create hindrances before a successful education process.
Well-organized team teaching helps educators to utilize their resources, capabilities and interests to enhance the quality of education. The students get opportunities to expose themselves to more specialists in this process . Team teaching encourages group discussions and develops teachers’ professional status. If sensibly organized, it is the best method to prevents wastage of both our time and the school resources .
