Co-teaching is not an online-only concept. However, it is very practical in online teaching due to larger number of instructors and learners potentially available to join a teaching session.


## Why co-teaching?
## Co-teaching and team teaching benefits

- It **saves preparation time**. Co-teachers can rely on each other's strengths while creating/ revising the material as well as in unexpected situations during the lesson.
- It **helps with onboarding new instructors**. One of the co-teachers can be learning at the same time, either the subtleties of the material taught (in this case literally being the "voice of the audience") or the teaching process itself.
- Team teaching **looks more interactive and engaging** to the audience in many cases, without forcing the learners to speak up if they can't or don't want to do so.
- It also **ensures responsive feedback and less workload** by having more active minds.


## Team-teaching hints
## Team teaching specifics

- 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).

While in breakout rooms, read about one of the two basic team-teaching models presented in the [CR 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?
