Shared teaching, also known as team teaching, is an innovative way to balance
teaching and research. Shared teaching benefits students by providing the perspec
tive of two or more professors in one class. Such an approach also benefits profes
sors by giving them more concentrated time for their research. A review of the lit
erature on the topic and examination of two distinct shared teaching models show
that shared teaching has advantages and challenges for both faculty and students
and is a viable option for reallocating resources.
