This year, one of my class was split up as some of the students were struggling with Physics and we felt that having a dedicated teacher to guide a smaller group would give them the learning structure and allow for greater differentiated learning within the class and hopefully build more self-confidence in them.
Am I enjoying it? Definitely! Actually, I am feeling the benefits of it myself and it is extra benefits that I would not have reaped. I did have split classes before, but this time it is a different. Maybe it has to do with the fact that both us have busy schedules and ended up half the time, we still took each other half classes and relieved each other.
What ended up was that we had to keep communicating to each other what each of doing. We then went in to prepare the labs together, talked more about how to teach the class and what each wanted to do :) Haha....we had more synergy!
This was really a pleasant surprise.
