    Abstract

    While some teacher educators work alongside teachers with their preservice teachers in school settings, it is less common for teachers to work alongside teacher educators in university settings. The following chapter provides insights on how a mathematics lecturer and a Year 1 teacher taught primary pre-service teachers in a university classroom. Narratives from the co-teachers and two colleagues who observed lessons and interviewed the pre-service teachers tell the story of a co-teaching experience which developed relationships, a sense of community, and diverse skills and expertise of the co-teachers, along with the impact that the experience had on the participants.
