The teaming approach is essential to building the
sense of community at Baker Middle. TEAMing is also
recognized as an effective way to meet the
particular needs of the middle school student.
TEAMing makes possible the collaborative approach,
embedded professional development, and
interdisciplinary teaching. In addition, when the
TEAM approach is maximized, a sense of security and
predictability is fostered for the students. Each
teacher on the various TEAMS plays an important and
vital role in establishing this.
When TEAMs of CORE and ENCORE teachers strategize to minimize the number of transitions that students face, the continuity better prepares the students for success. When TEAMs work together for the good of the ONE vision of the school, then students receive the benefit of the efforts.

Through the TEAMing approach, the sense of
community is actually realized. Communities are
where there is the embrace of a set of ideas and
values. The "Learning Community" established at
Baker Middle School requires all adults to embrace
the vision and be on a mission to stay focused and
on task.
