Abstract
Background: Team teaching involves multiple faculty teaching a single course and can follow different formats that can result in an enhanced experience for students and faculty.
Method: Team teaching was adopted for prelicensure students during the COVID-19 pandemic to maximize faculty time and expertise, eliminate duplicate work, and build in redundancy should faculty become ill. Using a tag-rotation model design, faculty were assigned content and activities, as well as assessments for the content. All work was housed on the learning university's platform.
Results: Novice faculty were mentored, duplication was eliminated, and efficiency was actualized through team teaching. Most faculty found the benefits to be advantageous and continued to use the model by choice.
Conclusion: Team teaching promotes a culture of debate and critical thinking as well as interprofessional learning. Faculty relationships and planning for both students and faculty are essential elements for team teaching success. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(4):249-252.].
