3. Tandem: What is tandem teaching? In the past, many k-2 grade teachers taught many subjects such as reading, language arts, and writing in isolation. With recent changes in the teacher evaluation system TKES, we are realizing that we need to integrate subject matter to provide students more of a differentiated learning environment which we refer to as teaching in tandem. This style of teaching will provide differentiation to meet all student’s needs.
