I enjoyed the tandem teaching experience and would gladly do it again (given the right teacher). Thanks for the echo. I’d still love to work in this kind of environment, where all subjects are working together toward one goal. Subject-area isolation is a big part of what’s making education seemingly irrelevant today. Because English, by itself, actually is quite irrelevant. So is math and so are all the other subject areas. When they come together is when they are useful.

I know this is an older post but I needed to second and third this idea. I’ve seen it done occasionally in middle schools that have a “team” system, but some do a better job than others. What you’re talking about is what I want all of teaching to be. Even if you can’t always get all the core subjects together, I keep thinking that history & english should always be cotaught. English teachers have to teach about history to explain the setting of the book, history involves plenty of reading and writing, why are they separate?

Here I am teaching a class in sociolinguistics for educators and found your site. It’s very infomative. Mock trial sounds like fun.
