Activities involving teachers from different class groups are increasingly common, especially among primary school teachers. These activities may take place among teachers who bring together groups within the same school or across different schools, and they can be conducted in either face-to-face or virtual formats. By way of example—undoubtedly there are many more given the richness of educational practice—we can refer to the creation of teaching materials for other classes, peer tutoring across different age groups, school outings involving more than one class, whole-school events, service-learning projects between schools, and virtual exchanges between schools. Beyond their learning potential for students, these practices can also offer teachers opportunities for professional development through collaboration with colleagues within their own school or from other schools.
You will find the definition, the evidence, and the potential learning opportunities of these practices in the second chapter of the following book.
