Horizontal Teams

Setting-Up Horizontal Teams

Step 1 Team Member Introductions – Get to know your teammates.

Step 2 Elect a Team Leader – Team leadership will rotate weekly. Team leaders will be in charge of completing the Horizontal Teaming Form whenever the team meets, turning in lesson plans with a rating of 2 or below, and disseminating information from instructors and the director to the teams.

Step 3 Set Group Norms – Decide how meetings will be run (procedures & meeting agendas), and how will you address each other (i.e. first name, or last name) etc. Create a group norms poster with your group’s name, the procedure and/or agendas etc. Keep is simple. Post your poster on the wall.

Step 4 Assign Content Areas – Everyone should have one content area or grade level unless told otherwise. Special Education Teachers will work primarily with Math and Reading.

Step 5 Discuss Unit Plan Overview – The task is to order the objectives on your assignment sheet. Objectives in each content area must be spiraled correctly in order to plan and teach effectively. Make a group decision about the unit overviews. For example, “Will each person plan for their content area?” or “Will the overview be planned by the group?” These are questions to be decided by the team.
