Team Teaching

Team Teaching

·         Our class have begun Belmayne ETNS’s Team Teaching.

·         All Children in Senior Infants are taking part.

·         The term Team Teaching is simply used to describe the fact that a number of Teachers are working with our class with children in smaller groups.

·         Children are divided into groups to work on Maths and English.

·         Team teaching compliments the Whole class teaching that your child receives every day in school and is guided by the Class Teacher.

·         Team teaching work is based on the plans of the Class Teacher and the needs of each individual group.

·         As the curriculum is child-centered, the teacher always ensures that each individual child’s needs are being met and differentiated for. This has always been the case.

·         Children are carrying out sorting/classifying/number work in Maths and Phonic/Word Identification/Reading in English etc… as is the case in a whole class.

·         The benefit of our Team Teaching is that children are working in small focused groups on their individual tasks.

·         In addition to Team Teaching your child will receive the same level of Maths and English curriculum work as they have always done.

1.       Each child works in small groups of 4/5.

2.       Team teaching happens on Monday and Tuesday.

3.       Children get 1 English session on Monday and Tuesday and 1 Maths session also on Monday and Tuesday.

5.       Each group works with 1 individual Teacher.

6.       Your child may receive a homework page from their Team Teacher which will need to be completed.
