Strategies like Project Based
Learning can work in isolated
classrooms with a good teacher, but
they are most effective when
teachers of various interests and
abilities work together as a team to
deliver a multidisciplinary program
for the students. Team teaching is
also beneficial because it makes
teaching a less lonely profession than
it has traditionally been. By working
closely with their peers, teachers
themselves gain the benefits of
cooperative learning. Students
benefit from team teaching curricula,
not hampered by a teacher’s
weakness in any given area because
that might be a strength another
teacher in the group possesses.
Team teaching also facilitates the
use of block scheduling that was
discussed earlier.
