Job Share Overview

What is it exactly?

-Job sharing exists when two teachers share the

responsibilities and the joys of educating one group

of students as a partnership.



What are the benefits?

Young people are flexible, easily adapting when a new teacher appears the next day. Some children actually brag about having

two teachers. They feel fortunate.

� Children do not always like their teachers. For whatever reason,

they are uncomfortable or unhappy with certain teaching styles.By having two teachers, these students do not spend all their

hours at school feeling nervous or sad. They click with one

teacher and can tolerate the other half the time. There is relief for

any student who has a personality conflict with one of the

teachers.

� Students benefit from being taught by two people who both

have so much to give to their job. They are surrounded by people

who are ready to go, energetic and fresh. We do not bring stress

into the classroom.



More benefits?!

� By being exposed to the styles of two teachers, children learn to work with

different people and personalities. The ability to work with others is a valuable

life-long skill that all people need throughout their time in school and later in

the work force. �Children with behavior problems get a new start every day. Issues that arise in

the morning are dealt with and the student is able to move on, relating to

another adult. Negative feelings are less likely to carry over to the next

morning.

We have the energy to give all students the attention they crave and the

guidance they need.

� A typical classroom led by job share teachers is a very busy setting. We do

not need down time. We maintain a fast pace so more content is covered and

classroom management becomes trivial. Children are constantly engaged in

learning, making the year a highly productive experience.
