It also lists five principles of effective team teaching related to class size, instruction level, teacher duties, learning environment, and time allocation. Finally, it notes five advantages of team teaching including better planning, resource utilization, teaching techniques, student motivation, and follow-up work.

2. Types of Team teaching
1. Team teaching in the same class period.
Here the members of the team discuss the various aspects of the same topic to be covered in the
same class period and share these aspects in tune with the special knowledge area in which each has
expertise.
2. Team teaching based on ability.
In this type, units are shared by different teachers not on the basis of subject matter, but on the basis
of special competencies such as lecturing, demonstrating, guiding discussion etc.
3. Team teaching based on specialization
Teachers with different subject specialization are jointly made responsibilities for instruction,
starting from course formation to evaluation. They share the content according to their specialization
areas.

3. Principles of team teaching
1. Principle of size and composition of the class.
The size of the class should be vary according to the objectives of the team teaching.Eg. To remove
the difficulties of students in certain subject, the size of the class should be small.
2. Principle of level of instruction
The entering behavior of the group of students should be determined so that the presentation of each
member of the team in tune with the level of the class.
3. Principle of assigning duties to teachers of the work.
Duties to the teachers should be appropriate according to their competencies of teaching.
4. Principle of learning environment.
Learning environment must be generated by employing appropriate teaching aids and other inputs.
5. Principle of time factor
Time schedule should be prepared by allotting appropriate time to subtopics, lead lecture, group
work etc.

4. Advantages of team teaching
1. Better planning
• Team teaching has to overcome repetition and hence every teacher has to devote more time
towards planning and preparation of his unit.
2. Better utilization of resources.
• It results in the optimum use of available resources, human, material, finance. A number of
teachers can work together and make the best use of their specialized knowledge.
3. Effective use of teaching techniques.
• Teachers observe each other and thus improve their teaching techniques.
4. Better motivation.
• It provides better motivation for good teachers to become team leaders. Student too are better
motivated while they are being taught by a number of teachers. Teachers with greater technical skills
influence the performance of their colleagues.
5. Better follow-up work.
• It ensure better follow-up work as a number of specialists teach the same subject to the same class.
