Abstract:
This chapter breaks down the core values of working as a team in a middle school setting. It explains the importance of teams for helping to make large schools feel smaller and more personal and to provide support and encouragement, which would be great in the Bonney Eagle Middle School. In teams you can get together to make rules and expectations similar for children from class to class. Teaming also makes it easy to do collaborative work both in subjects and themes that the teams can follow, this way kids see connections. Subject integration is alway a great way of doing this, and teams enable teachers to do this without too much stress. Teams also make it smoother for the kids both academically and socially in such a crucial time of change in their lives.
Reflection:
I think that teams are Great! We had teams at my middle school. They were named after counties. I think that this way a great way to meet the kids from other elementary schools and to build a great social and academic experience. My teachers incorporated examples from stuff that we were doing in our other classes into what we were doing in our class, which helped help us learn the material in both classes. When we did field trips they made sure that it was incorporated and reapplied in each subject.
