Procedure; Human Factors
While in the downwind leg of the pattern working with a student; Tower cleared our aircraft number one for touch and go on. They also directed an RV9 to enter left base. The RV9 was asked to report us in sight. After several moments; they reported us in sight and Tower cleared them number two to land. We then turned base and the RV9 turned base inside of us. When we rolled our wings level; tower called the RV9 to tell them they had turned inside of our turn. The RV9 was then cleared to land number one; however; he had already entered an evasive 180 degree turn to his right and when I gained visual contact again; he was directly above us with less than 200 feet separation. We were unable to maneuver evasively at our low altitude but he was able to pass over us with no further conflict.
C172 instructor pilot on short final reported an NMAC.
