Students benefit from receiving instruction which incorporates the ideas and talents of more than one instructor. Grade level teaching teams are used in the elementary schools, and departmental teaching teams are used at secondary schools. Teaming allows teachers to work with students in small groups. Vertical teaming is utilized districtwide to strengthen the total program, prekindergarten through grade 12. With the opening of so many new schools in recent years, the PISD educational program has remained strong because experienced teachers who are familiar with the district philosophy and curriculum move to new schools to influence and orient the new staff members.
Teachers working and sharing ideas leads to stronger programs and better teachers.
