A team of teachers work together in planning curriculum and instruction for all children assigned to the unit. Interaction among varying age groups is emphasized with older children acting as peer tutors, role models, and classroom helpers. Students may be assigned to any of the classrooms in the team during a given day depending on level of skill. Each team is composed of four teachers. Each teacher is responsible for a different grade specific list of skills.
Teamwork is emphasized among teachers as it is among students.
