Team Teaching at Livingstone PS
Reflection on Visit to Livingstone PS - saw their setup for team teaching Preps and Grade 1. The connecting classrooms opened up to form a long space, allowing for table groups to be set up over a large area and teachers to genuinely move through the area and teach all students. I think we may have missed an opportunity in designing our flexible learning centre in not making provision for such a set up. The classrooms are connected by doors only, and the open area in the middle is also a corridor for accessing classrooms, so not a useful exclusive space in same way as the Livingstone space. So, we have ongoing frustration with the space that we have. Although N10 and N12 do have a large opening between them, it's still like a big doorway rather than allowing for a fluid space. Also, in a single period, reorganising the tables and chairs to utilise both rooms takes a lot of time - so, not practical. Perhaps this will work better with the 4 period day.
