                 TEAM TEACHING FLOW CHART

Before the lesson
   Consult with your JTE (cross-cultural knowledge / awareness)
   What are the goals of the lesson? What should students be able to do?
   What are the constraints of the classroom (student level, class size, budget,
    learning disabled, behavioral problems, general atmosphere, past knowledge)?
   What are the roles of JTE / ALT?
Planning the Activities (writing the lesson plan): textbook / school requirements
   Theoretical framework (TESL/TEFL, immersion, grammar translation,
    communicative approach and task-based learning, students as teachers)
   New Course of Study (MEXT approved general guidelines)
   4 Component Areas (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening + combinations)
   7 Intelligences (are the activities stimulating for different types of learners?)
   What activities are best for the goal (group work, explanation, game, worksheet)?
   Creating the materials, A/V aids (maps, charts, printouts, videos, CD/MP3)




During the lesson
   What teaching methods are you using (discussion, modeling, lecture, quiz)?
   Are JTE and ALT following planned roles? Do you need to re-evaluate?
   Are you fostering a communicative atmosphere? Are you using the target language?
   How is the pace of the class? Are you spending too much / little time on one activity?
   Behavior management / motivation (punishment and reward systems)
   Check for understanding (formal and informal evaluation / assessment methods)




After the lesson
   Finding a chance to evaluate the lesson with the JTE (time management)
   What went well? What could be improved? Were both teachers satisfied?
   Were the students able to meet the goals? Did they know what was going on?



               Now it’s time to plan the next lesson!
