Abstract
The “Combo,” as it is popularly known at ACS Athens, is a team-taught American Studies interdisciplinary English and Social Studies course in which students are heterogeneously grouped in a unique blended learning environment. With differentiated instruction, teachers use a wide range of strategies to engage students of all abilities and backgrounds. Over two decades in the making, the integrated team-taught course instructors apply a constructivist approach, inquiry-based learning, collaborative structures, the latest technology, and creative approaches to engage students in the development of 21st century skills. This chapter traces the philosophy behind interdisciplinary team-teaching (ITT) at ACS Athens and its theoretical and research-based underpinnings to provide unique insights into its benefits and challenges. Three units of study are presented to illustrate organic differentiation, innovated blended teaching strategies, and formative and summative assessments in blended and virtual learning environments.
