Amanda,
I like how in your reflection you referred to team collaborations to discuss student improvement. At the high school level teachers may discuss students with other teachers, but it is usually not cross content. CHS is divided by subject, so there is little partnership among content areas, inhibiting group effort to help struggling students. I also think it is interesting you bring up the students' social lives because that, I've found, is also very important in uncovering why a student is misbehaving or doing poorly on school work. Overall, I'm looking forward to team collaboration when I go to BMS next semester. I think it really helps the students improve their achievement in your class.

Hey Cherise,
Yep, I know what you mean about how CHS is very divided by content. Ironically, when I subbed there, that was my favorite part of the whole thing, because all the science people ate together & shared an office, etc. But, yeah, it's certainly to the students' benefit that teachers cross content in the middle school are all about collaboration.
