Your article made me think back about my teacher training days. I had to work with other trainee teachers to work on assignments and projects too. I don't remember our tutors telling us all these. The fact is working with partner is great if we contribute equal attention and effort into the project. I had ever done a project where I had done almost the whole package while the other partner just contribute a bit. The fact that we need to work with other teachers in school and not every teacher may always put in their best even though we are doing the same task together. I had tried co-teaching this year for the first time. It is not a very comfortable situation since both of us are experienced teachers so we do have our teaching styles. Nevertheless, I did learn useful teaching trick that I did not think of.

That first year was such a great experience. Something our school board has started doing now is assigning every first year contract teacher a mentor in their school. I think that guidance is so important.
