Now Online: TeamWork: Setting the Standard for Collaborative Teaching
February 2008
In an age of accountability, these teachers embrace the constant changes and respond with innovation. They work together to plan interdisciplinary units that are motivating to young adolescents but still tied to state standards. Never once do they use the challenge of standards to settle for mediocre lessons. This is an important life lesson for all middle-level educators.
-- Jack Berckemeyer (from the Foreword)
