Since AMLE first published its landmark text on educating young adolescents more than forty years ago, teaming has emerged and continues to be validated as a core structure within a high-performing middle school. This companion guide to that text, The Successful Middle School: This We Believe, will help schools explore how to create and sustain an impactful teaming process.

Using his signature style, Jack identifies the 16 essential elements of teaming, exploring the what, why, and how of each. Complete with a wealth of resources, templates, and examples, this book is an essential guide for both veteran teams looking to expand on their success and educators just starting their teaming journey.
