From the Paper:
"The reasons why team teaching is advantageous to teachers are numerous. Teamwork improves the quality of teaching; promotes self-discipline and maturity in both teachers and students; stimulation and challenge of team teaching prevents and remedies burnout; by combining classes, teachers have more time to plan lessons and improve teaching techniques, it also helps to clarify the goals of each lesson, ensures a better use of class time and sharing workload, and improves the general quality of teaching. Teachers can share ideas and learn from each other, expanding their flexibility and promoting creativity."Sample of Sources Used:
