Chiddix has adopted a middle school concept which teams all 6th, 7th
and 8th graders. The teams consist
of 2 to 4 core teachers. There are 5 half- teams at the 6th grade level, 2 full teams at the 7th
grade level and 2 full teams at the 8th
grade level. The core teachers are responsible for language arts, mathematics,
science, and social studies. Since each team shares its core teachers and
scheduled class periods, it is possible for the teams to integrate curriculum,
plan special events, and manipulate the schedule to suit the needs of the team.
The middle school concept addresses the needs of adolescents by bridging the gap
between single teacher classrooms in elementary school and the varied group of
independent teachers in high school.
