Teach Together is a collaborative teaching model at Nightingale College in which a general education instructor and a nursing instructor align their courses' learning objectives and topics to bridge foundational knowledge and clinical nursing practice. The approach emphasizes meaningful intersections that embrace intentionality over totality, which makes learning authentic and professionally relevant. Here, we paired Microbiology with Concepts of Nursing III, using coordinated instruction, cross-disciplinary guest teaching, and explicit discussion of how microbiology concepts inform patient care. Rather than operating in parallel silos, the two instructors work in tandem: the microbiology instructor previews how content connects to learners' professional futures, while the nursing instructor reinforces it from a clinical perspective. Science instructors teaching learners outside their discipline often struggle to make content feel relevant to those learners' goals. This session provides a practical strategy for increasing learner engagement, strengthening career relevance, and fostering partnerships across academic programs.
