Grade Level Teams

Middle schools use a team approach to provide students with the supports they need to be successful. Rosa Parks has two team leaders per grade level who serve as tremendous resources for students.

The role of the team leader is to:

  • Be the “go to” person on the team for student, parent and teacher concerns

  • Coordinate team efforts to recognize and celebrate student successes

  • Work with the counselor to schedule and facilitate student/teacher and parent/teacher conferences

  • Support classroom teachers in their instructional programs

  • Support students with academic, social and emotional concerns

  • Monitor the progress of all students

  • Provide and promote a positive school climate on the team

  • Assist in conflict resolution

  • Provide time for student academic support outside of the classroom

  • Act as a liaison between administrators, parents, and teachers.
