The definition of collaborative teaching approach is known as team teaching in classrooms practices, with a group of creative thinkers to brainstorm about ideas or other creative problems. This practice should be done continuously to be effective. However, there are some challenges that educator will face when practicing collaborative teaching in classroom. The challenges include clash of teaching hours, misconducting time management for students, percentage of rubric assessment, and confusion in terms of differing opinion from educators.
