In station teaching “both teachers are actively involved in instruction and the students rotate from one station to the next, learning more material” (Ferry). When doing station teaching the students move around the classroom in different groups for the same amount of time, to learn different parts of the lesson. The best way to do station teaching is to divide the class into three groups. By doing this, one group can work independently, and the other two groups can work with the teachers.

Team teaching is when “both teachers instruct on the same lesson with all the students present” (Ferry). This means that the students are also a part in the lesson. When team teaching, the classroom should be a large, fast past group of students. This allows the students to be taught in a new way than what they are used too. In this structure both teachers are actively involved in the management of the lesson, and the discipline.
Co-teaching has many advantages. Over the years many teachers have used co-teaching to benefit the students in the classroom. The educators who have participated in co-teaching arrangements say co-teaching “enhances the instructional support children need in the classroom” (Curry School of Education).
