What is Vertical Teaming
Vertical Teaming brings principles of educational excellence and equity to life by providing students opportunities to develop patterns of thought necessary to succeed.
A Vertical Team is a group of educators from different grade levels in a given discipline who work cooperatively to develop and implement a vertically aligned program. This program is anchored in the skills, knowledge and concepts needed to engage all students in a higher level of learning.
Vertical Teaming is based on the premise that EVERY student can achieve academic excellence by consistently challenging ALL students to expand their knowledge to the next level.
The goal of Vertical Teaming is to increase the quality of teaching and learning in a particular subject at all grade levels and to increase the instructional Rigor and Challenge for ALL students.
Vertical Teaming:
- Establishes a seamless Pre K-12 education
- Reduces repetition of content
- Provides a structure for teachers to implement best practice instructional strategies
- Provides a structure for teachers to collaboratively develop common vocabulary within a content area
- Encourages all students to take challenging courses and provides students the support needed to be successful
