Input and review come from the whole team. Decision-making is shared.<\/p>\n<p>Collective decision-making requires regular team meetings. These meetings are genuine collaborations in which ideas are discussed and debated. Engaging in regular interactions helps to counter casual teachers\u2019 typical experience of isolation and invisibility.<\/p>\n<p><em>The weekly meetings help me to feel connected with other tutor members. Despite the unit and teaching being wholly online, the weekly catch-ups during semester help to facilitate rapport and camaraderie. \u2014 Poppy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Collaboration reduces the burden on individual teachers while ensuring continuity for the students and the course.<\/p>\n<p><em>I felt very supported by the teaching team generally, and senior members in particular [\u2026] Weekly meetings were an opportunity to raise issues within an environment of shared understandings of the challenges of tertiary-level teaching, online delivery and confronting content. \u2014 Astrid<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Overall, I feel very supported. I am generally able to take time off and team members will competently step up to cover my duties. I am confident team members know enough about my work so they can handle any emergency or issue in my absence. \u2014 Brett<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Working together fosters peer learning. Participants described learning about all aspects of university teaching, including unit design, content development, assessment and online teaching skills.<\/p>\n<p>Ruth said the unit was one of her best teaching experiences because she was learning the whole time. Experienced members of the teaching team described learning new approaches to student management and delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn-the-job\u201d learning helps offset the exclusion of casual staff from professional development training and safeguards future academic teaching.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s needed to make team teaching work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Successful collaboration requires team members to be skilled in providing constructive feedback. They must also be comfortable with their ideas being challenged. Solid interpersonal skills are necessary to resolve any dissent.<\/p>\n<p><em>We contested each other quite a bit [\u2026] all of the colleagues are highly talented, but portray a real willingness to learn [\u2026] so there is a flexibility and lack of defensiveness that characterises all the colleagues. \u2014 Jason<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Collaborative teaching teams also rely on institutional recognition and financial support.<\/p>\n<p><em>The school \u2026 is also really supportive in terms of having a \u2018champion\u2019 and financial support for us to meet to collaborate. Financial support for the work we do is a literal way to show that we\u2019re valued. \u2014 Phillipa<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Collaborative teaching models provide a blueprint for a teaching environment that is supportive and enriching for staff. It\u2019s also good for the long-term viability of the institution. These aspects of team teaching speak to its sustainability both for staff and the institution.<\/p>\n<p><em>I earnestly believe that universities need to change radically to make good on their espoused values: this has to start with caring for people and placing value on collegiality [\u2026] and creating situations in which people can operate with genuine team spirit, with the appropriate skill sets for communicating openly and respectfully. \u2014 Jason<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite the benefits of team teaching, it is not a panacea for the casualisation of university teaching. Further work needs to be done to address issues such as job security.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios: <\/strong>Robyn Moore is Social Researcher, School of Social Sciences, Emily Rudling is a Research Assistant, Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment, Maria Kunda is an Adjunct Lecturer, School of Creative Arts and Media and Sebastien Robin is Associate Lecturer in Culture in Health all at the University of Tasmania<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casual staff do an estimated\u00a080% of undergraduate teaching in Australian universities.\u00a0Research\u00a0shows these staff are highly committed, going above and\u00a0beyond their paid role\u00a0to assist students.
