Which teaching approach involves instructing different heterogeneous groups?

• A. Co-teaching
• B. Complementary Teaching
• C. Parallel Teaching
• D. Cooperative Learning

Answer: (C)

Parallel teaching focuses on two teachers delivering the same lesson to two smaller, mixed-ability groups at the same time. By dividing the class into two heterogeneous groups, each teacher can tailor pacing, check for understanding more easily, and boost student participation, while both groups work toward the same learning goals. This setup increases interaction and provides more opportunities for guided practice and formative feedback without changing the core content.
