[quote=Anonymous]I've taught at the collegiate level and we were allowed to co-teach with other professors even in seminar contexts (< 15 students). My experience in university settings (might be different at liberal arts colleges or in state schools) is that course size is generally a function either of professor-imposed caps or of enrollment. Administrators don't have much to do with it (although there may be incentive structures to teach large classes and when you're lecturing and not doing sections (or doing a fixed number of sections), size doesn't change your workload much). But lecture shouldn't be the dominant teaching style in elementary school. And there's a real difference between how interactive a lecture can be with 15 kids vs. 25 kids vs. 50 kids. (Whereas 50 vs. 150 -- not so much). [/quote]
