Team teaching can be powerful for enhancing student learning, supporting instructor growth and well-being, and reducing burnout. At its best, team teaching promotes effective course design, diversifies role models for students, and provides peer mentorship and support for instructors. However, team teaching can also present challenges, introducing conflicting student expectations, course design approaches, and classroom management strategies. In this session, attendees will use our adaptation of a teaching values assessment tool to reflect on their own teaching values and priorities and practice using the tool to facilitate open communication and co-planning between members of a teaching team.
