Teaming

• Teams will use a chosen agenda, ethos, structure, and process for all team meetings

• Teams will meet at least one time a week for planning/problem-solving purposes

• Teams will meet with 1 coach one time a week for ELA, Math, or Behavior

• Teams will meet with Sara Raabe one time a month

When adults work together in successful teams, they get group assistance with problem solving; together they examine student work, address issues of class management, learn new curriculum, provide support for new staff, and give veteran staff roles as mentors. 

Adults have an opportunity to observe each other at work in order to improve their own practice.

What adults are unable to accomplish alone, or only with great difficulty, they can accomplish more successfully in a team.

There is enough very good data to indicate that adults who work in teams get more enjoyment and self-fulfillment from teaching as they see their own practice improve.
