Alternative Teaching: One teacher works with a small group needing re-teaching or enrichment while the other teaches the larger group. 5. Team Teaching: Both teachers lead instruction together, bouncing ideas off each other. Key to success: dedicated co-planning time (at least 1 hour/week), clear roles and responsibilities, and parity between teachers.
