Also included is a DVD with video case studies and one CD with reproducibles. The most important reason for building teacher teams is to enhance student learning through improved instruction, and that story is at the heart of this book.

With a forward by internationally known author Douglas Reeves, "Harnessing the Power of Teacher Teams" describes a powerful process by which teachers can begin to define the reforms necessary to dramatically improve student outcomes. These reforms in instructional practice and structures will be derived not from policymakers or those outside the classroom or school but by those on the ground doing the work. By instituting the practices described in this book teachers and principals can begin to discover the changes they need to make to meet the needs of all of their students. By focusing on implementation and measuring changes in practice these same teachers and principals can document the effect of their growth in practice on their students.

For those considering adopting team teaching, or interested in reviewing their own practice, this book offers an over-view of this pedagogy, its challenges and rewards, and a rich range of examples in which teachers present and reflect upon their approaches. The interaction of two teachers—both the intellectual interaction involved in the design of the course, and the pedagogical interaction in the teaching of the course—creates a dynamic environment that reflects the way scholars make meaning of the world. The process naturally breaks down the teacher-centered classroom by creating a scholarly community in which teachers and students work together to understand important ideas, and where students don’t just learn content, but begin to understand how knowledge is constructed, grasp the connections between disciplines as well as their different perspectives, see greater coherence in the curriculum, and appreciate how having more than one teacher in the classroom leads naturally to dialogue and active learning.Each of the five examples in this book shares the story of a course at a different institution, and each is designed to reflect a number of different variables in team-taught courses. They represent courses in a variety of different disciplines, including the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts; and at a range of levels, from first-year seminars to graduate courses. They also illustrate a number of different models for instructional teams, such as faculty from the same disciplines, from related disciplines, from two very different disciplines, from different institutions, and one pairing of a faculty member and a staff member. This book provides insight into the impact of team teaching on student learning and on faculty development. It also addresses the challenges, both pedagogical an administrative, that need to be addressed for team teaching to be effective.

The Brain that Does the Work is the Brain that Learns. This simple truth is the essence of Student-led academic teaming, a new pedagogical model which elevates core instruction to a level of rigor far beyond that of traditional classrooms and familiar grouping strategies. In academic teams, students learn to collaborate and communicate with their peers while engaging in rigorous, standards-based tasks"€"a combination that clears the most effective path to true social, emotional, and cognitive learning (SECL). Authors Michael Toth and David Sousa have spent years researching academic frameworks and observing schools all over the country. They've found students disengaged, classrooms rooted in 19th century techniques, and teachers working themselves to the breaking point trying to force each student to meet state standards]€]but education doesn't have to be miserable, inequitable, and unpredictable. In Student-led academic teams, it's the kids who take ownership of their learning. Every st
