It also works if the two faculty are set up so one is in charge and the other helps. Either way, the point is your adult leadership needs to have clearly defined roles and needs to know how to work together. That will then flow down to the students. So long as the roles are defined and there's a clear leadership hierarchy, having more adults helping with the team is always better!
