CodeRefinery lessons benefit from the application of the concepts of **co-teaching**.

:::{admonition} Co-teaching
[Co-teaching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-teaching) can be defined as "the division of labor between educators to plan, organize, instruct and make assessments on the same group of students, generally in the a common classroom, and often with a strong focus on those teaching as a team complementing one another's particular skills or other strengths".

Co-teaching can be used in various forms, some of which are present in our workshops:
- **Teaching + support**, e.g. one of the teachers leading instruction while the other watches over and maintains the collaborative document (HackMD/HedgeDoc).
- **Teaching + support**, e.g. one of the teachers leading instruction while the other watches over and maintains the collaborative document (HackMD/HedgeDoc/...).
- Another similar example is **remote learning groups** that watch the streamed CodeRefinery lessons guided by the local instructors.
- Open-source material and joint planning allows the lessons to be held **in parallel** (at the same time) or **alternatively** (at different times or with minor adjustments for the target audience).
- **Team teaching**, where the lesson is presented by multiple (in most cases, two) teachers who actively engage in conversation with each other. The team-teaching concept is explained in more detail in [CR manual](https://coderefinery.github.io/manuals/team-teaching/).

In reality, different forms are very often mixed or fused together, even within a single lesson.

- For successful team teaching, additional **coordination** is needed, first of all to agree on the teaching model (see breakout-room exercise) and the person in control (the **director**) for the lesson or its parts.
- It's useful to keep track of the **lecture plan**. The discussion is a good way to make lesson more interactive and adjust to the audience, but deviating too much will become disorienting (for example, if someone dropped their attention for a minute and now is trying to catch-up by reading lecture notes).
- Experienced solo teacher might have a habit to keep talking (lecturing), while the co-teacher might not want to interrupt too rudely. Therefore, it is important for the leading presenter to anticipate and **allow for remarks/ questions**, and this can be different from one's previous teaching style at first.

- The learners may also react differently to the conversational delivery.

While in breakout rooms, read about one of the two basic team-teaching models presented in the [CodeRefinery manual](https://coderefinery.github.io/manuals/team-teaching/) and discuss:
- Have you already tried this or similar model in your teaching?
- Does it seem natural to apply this model in your subject area (tell what it is)? How could it be adapted to fit best?
