Interdisciplinary Teaming as an Induction Practice
Bickmore, Dana L.; Bickmore, Steven T.; Hart, Laurie E.
NASSP Bulletin, v89 n644 p30-53 2005
The role of interdisciplinary teaming in the induction of new teachers was examined at two middle level schools through the perceptions of three participant groups: new teachers, mentors, and principals. Data collected through a mixed-method design indicated that participants perceived inter disciplinary teams as an integral part of the induction process of new teachers that supported their personal and professional needs. Teaming was most helpful in meeting new teachers' professional needs chiefly through supporting the management practices of new teachers.
