Total Team Teaching

In his excellent book on team teaching (Interdisciplinary Courses and Team Teaching), James Davis posits two extremes on the continuum of team teaching.

At the opposite pole are “courses planned and delivered by a group. . . . They take primary responsibility for individual class sessions, but sometimes two or more faculty are involved in planning and delivering the instruction of a particular class” (p. 7). The two of us take the latter extreme even further, going into what we call Total Team Teaching (TTT), and we find the results highly effective.
