Eld 360 - Teacher Teams Presentation - Alyssa (2015)

Teacher teams aim to provide leadership, collaboration, and involvement among teachers. They can reorganize traditional department structures and help teachers convey a sense of caring. Implementing teacher teams requires leadership development with a focus on group facilitation, defining teacher needs, identifying problems, and finding resources to solve them. Interdisciplinary teams promote literacy across subjects and allow examination of cross-curricular skills and benchmarks while encouraging connections between disciplines.

What is Interdisciplinary

Promotes the integration of literacy across content areas
They can examine skills that are necessary across content
areas and determine common benchmarks and strategies to
use across the disciplines
Allows students to see the connections among disciplines
Encourages collaboration and opportunities for teams of
teachers to look at student work and talk about individual
students who need help

Interdisciplinary teaching teams encourage


common and consistent expectations for student
behavior and use classroom management
strategies, both of which have provided a
positive environment and kept discipline issues
to a minimum

teaching, your school has two teams with a
teacher from each discipline in each group.
