Working in teams. I've been exceptionally lucky at my school that in my first few years of teaching (about 4 and counting or maybe its 5), I have been able to team teach several subjects. In fact my very first "real" class was team teaching a challenging Yr 8 Science class with a math teacher. Since then I've team taught with some fantastic teachers.

Working in teaching teams has helped improve my teaching immensely. It has allowed me to work with much more experienced teachers, gaining many skills quicker than if I was struggling by myself. Just having someone else's expertise in an area such as Science has been a great asset.

I think its important in working in teaching teams to be understanding and accepting of the other teachers particular teaching style and work to develop a good working relationship with them.

PS: I've really gotta proof read this stuff a little bit better
