Morgan : It has to be pretty serious. . . . There [are] normally three of us in the classroom-we team-teach our classes at the freshman year. . . . Sometimes there are four of us, but there [are] normally three of us in the classroom. And if we all have noticed that the teams are straying, then I'll intervene, stop the class, try to redirect them in a more productive path. Unless it's pretty widespread, I don't.

Ledlow : So, you wouldn't intervene with an individual team that's way off base?

Morgan : I don't, except occasionally. If there's someone that doesn't seem to be engaged in the process of the team, I will pull them aside and ask them how are things going with the team and where they are. That's more of what I would call an individual accountability, where the students need to know that I want them all to be participating and I want them to believe that I'll notice whenever they don't.
