Author Description

"This volume illustrates several successful applications of team teaching and learning in educational contexts ranging from the traditional classroom to the online classroom, to the workplace, to the community. The emphasis on practice is intentional; it is designed to vivify the inclusive nature of teaming relative to including different perspectives, different pedagogical methods, and both teachers and learners in the multidirectional process of adult learning. The authors provide in-depth discussions of theory on subjects including collaborative learning, action learning, and learning for social transformation and for professional development. Team teaching's challenges and demands are confronted with directness and ingenuity. This volume is a resource for educators in a variety of settings - both those wishing to explore the underpinnings of team teaching and learning, as well as those preparing to implement this promising teaching-learning alternative."--BOOK JACKET.
