The impact of collaborative teaching for graduate students

Abstract

This session describes a collaborative teaching effort between the College of Education at the University of Florida and its affiliated developmental research school. Three graduate students with content-area expertise in statistics, but without prior K-12 experience, worked with a high school classroom teacher to teach the school’s first offering of AP Statistics. This novel teaching arrangement benefited all parties involved and can serve as a model for other collaborations, not just in the content area of statistics. Benefits and challenges, including selections of research findings and unique teaching strategies arising from this co-teaching experience, are presented.
