‘A hallmark of high success’: How Hoover Middle School is embracing interdisciplinary learning and collaborative team planning time through team-based models
Hoover Middle School was one of six schools within Albuquerque Public Schools in New Mexico to launch team-based strategic school staffing models in 2025. In this story, Hoover’s leaders and four educators on the 6th-grade team — whose experiences span from one year to over two decades — share on their takeaways from their first year teaming and how the model is working to ensure that “no student falls behind.”
Team-based school staffing expands across states, improving outcomes and experiences for students and educators
Across 16 U.S. states and two countries, educators are working in teams rather than alone, creating more student-centered learning environments while building careers that are collaborative, sustainable and satisfying. In just seven years, Next Education Workforce™ team-based staffing models have grown from a single school to 128 schools serving roughly 33,000 students.
