Teaming refers to a group of teachers from different subject areas who are responsible for a group of students. They collaborate to support students' academic and social growth. A team typically has 2-5 teachers covering core subjects. Smaller teams are more common in lower grades while larger teams are used in 7th and 8th grades. Advantages of teaming include increased diversity of teaching styles and flexibility in scheduling. Successful teams choose their composition carefully, have common planning time, and develop a team identity through things like names, mottos, and traditions. Teachers on a team discuss topics like curriculum, student progress, and disciplinary issues.
