I believe in an arts integrated approach to learning and have been able to realize this on many occasions throughout my teaching career. In the late 90's I made a 17 minute documentary called Hand of Learning which illustrated arts integration with science and social studies at the 4th grade level in an inner city philadelphia school. This documentary led to the creation of a Small learning community. Since then I have done several project based arts integrated projects with Stem, science and the librarian at Leonard middle school.

I have been on five different teaming combinations. One of more content area with another person. For ten years with a teaching partner that followed a more middle level model. The team was unit based.

I hope that the new schedule will allow for more collaboration throughout the school. The positive atmosphere it creates is infectious. I also hope that I can collaborate with my other UA teachers on more projects.

My hope is for every teacher to be attached to one team so we can build positive, effective relationships with students. I would love to be on a two person team that is focused on project based learning and real world applications. I would love to see an afternoon block where social studies and science are integrated into our projects. I would love to do a skill building morning block where ELA and math lessons (with Pearson) is taught

I have been part of what was called a team where we shared kids, but it didn't function as a team where we worked together with kids.  My education in middle level philosophy gets me excited for true teaming where we work with kids together in various ways and with project-based learning.
Project-based learning/service-learning is something I do have experience with and I look forward to having integrated areas between teachers.

My hope is that our new process of working with/accessing students will be smooth and more beneficial than negative.

I need to know the parameters. What information is missing to establish teaming?

I hope that more collaboration can happen with smaller teams and the possible support of a UA teacher. I would like to see teams be designed with the best interest of the the students being thought of.

My hope is that we meet students were they are instead of making them fit somewhere

My hope is to get back to a true middle school model with a team that meets the needs of middle school students. I want to integrate subjects based on the interests of out students. I'm excited to collaborate with my awesome teammates and build a community with next year's kiddos.

Two person team, but 6 strong.
ELA/SS other Math/Sci shared SS content driven.
Another team - put an idea on the table "I want to do a newspaper unit". Then all the content built off from that project. Everything was pulled together. This was much more meaningful for kids. Used scientific method as they talked about books. Very successful when she got to hire the teammate. Attended Middle Level Institute, Service-Learning at a place based (ocean) site with kids overnight (bonding)
Went our own way (was negative).  Need to be careful to exclude other teams.

Another experience:
Picked projects and taught the curriculum around those projects - insulating a house in town.  Did a lot of work around what the kids are curious about in their life.  After a cancer diagnosis, kids did project around that.  It was a lot of work that requires you to get together with your teammate.  It changes every year so it's hard to have a plan for the next year because it depends on where the students go with it.

Another experience:
UAs have shared planning time, but only mixing 2 standard sets.  Integrated art and technology - really fun and the kids get so much more out of it.
Illumination collaboration - made paper and made lanterns and integrated soft circuitry and LED lights.

Important for kids to get a shared experience.

It is overwhelming to do more than teams. Just do teams. Change other things after we do that for a year. It's a bridge too far to change more than going to teams next year.
