Core teaming consists of four teachers (English, math, science and social studies), who share a group of students.   During the team periods students are covering the standard curriculum at a regular or challenge level, as well as integrating a focus area such as instructional technology, writing across the curriculum, or language immersion.  The team teachers also meet consistently to discuss curriculum, review class progress and discuss individual student issues.
