Ποιό από τα τέσσερα θέματα που παρουσιάστηκαν στις κατά πρόσωπο και “elluminate” συναντήσεις διαλέξατε να αναφερθείτε και γιατί?We select to report on team teaching because it was a new teaching experience for us.• With whom did you pilot this new practice and at what grade level did you undertake your pilot? This new practice was undertaken at 3rd grade among three teachers who teach and co-operate at the 3rd grade. 1

2. Connections with Colleagues - Διασυνδέσεις με συναδέλφους • We discussed about o common problem that we faced in our classes.This problem had to do with the behaviour of some of our pupils during teaching. • We decided to discuss and solve this problem as a team by completing a form ( rubric ) which had to do with the behaviour of some of the pupils. Our goal was to understand the behaviour of those pupils and try to find appropriate solutions. So, we found and adapted a rubric to fit our needs. • Every member of our team observed the pupil whose behaviour is “difficult” ( one pupil from each class over a 2-hour period ) and comleted the rubric. • Finally we studied and compared our data and discussed possible ways to deal with such problem as and when they occur. 2

3. Successes - Επιτυχίες • Name two or three 'successes' you experienced with this pilot. What changes did you notice? • Through this process, the communication among the members of our team has been enhanced and our overall co-operation in dealing with teaching difficulties has become more systematic. • We discussed and tried different approaches, which prought some change in the pupil’s behaviour. 3

4. Challenges - Δυσκολίες • Name two or three challenges you experienced with the pilot. What got in the way of your success? • The use and completion of the rubric. • Coordinating the whole team, amd finding the time needed. 4

5. Next Steps - Επόμενα Βήματα • Name two or three next steps with this material. What will you try next? How will you build on your experiences with the institute? • We will observe our colleagues at work and write down their teaching strategies. • We’ ll try to find original teaching materials ( by co-operating ). 5
