Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Similar to the chapter in Turning points 2000, this chapter emphasizes the importance of team teaching in the middle school. This chapter provides teachers with the help that they need and talks about subject integration. Through the use of team teaching, students are equipped with the ability to link important themes and topics from the different content areas as well as draw their own conclusions and make their own connections. This helps prepare students for the real world as content and interests are not always separate. In order to do this, teachers must communicate with each other and share core beliefs. This way, students will share these core beliefs not only with each other and their teachers but also in their education and learning.
