I should say the most effective and satisfying team teaching experience was when I was team teaching with another native speaker.

We were able to model the conversations together, model the students' role, and get around to the students better. However, I had pretty good rapport with the other teacher. I taught with another teacher in the same situation and eventually we just agreed that I'd do the work and he'd stay out of my way. (He actually said in his interview that he didn't like children, yet they hired him for an elementary school position anyway ????)

So, I think chemistry (and again objectives) really plays a big part in satisfation.
