As one teacher commented, the “Team as Support” system comes naturally to our

students.   They LOVE to be of service to each other and they can often be more
effective than their professors!  Teaching with my students supported by their teams

has changed teaching for me because at the same time that it helps students academically,

effective collaboration.  It has made teaching more meaningful and fulfilling to me.

And within this moment of a global pandemic and the isolation that devastates this
age group, “team as support” is lifesaving.For the last five years now, students write to me that this system of

“Teams as Support” has made their course work “fun”.  This was important to me because
I aim for a certain rigour in my courses and sometimes worry that the level of analysis

I require can tire and even bore them!

Below are attachments that will be helpful in implementing this system.
