What is parallel teaching?

Parallel teaching is a teaching strategy in which two or more teachers deliver the same content simultaneously to two or more groups of students. It involves dividing a class into smaller groups that are taught the same lesson by different teachers. The teachers may be co-teachers working together or teaching assistants who work independently. Parallel teaching can be used in different ways, such as dividing the class by ability, learning style, or interest. The goal is to engage students and improve their understanding of the material. Parallel teaching allows for more personalized attention and opportunities for small group discussion and collaboration. It can also help maintain student attention and engagement by breaking up lecture-style teaching.
