We have departmentalization in grades 3 - 5. A school in our parish is
doing it in 2nd grade. I don't know about the success at that school but
they are in year 2.
We are thinking about stopping the departmentalization in 3rd. Our students
can't handle the 4 way rotation - not mature enough.

I don't know of any specific research but I do know from my situation in 5th
grade it's hard to do especially with scheduling. Scheduling seems to be a
nightmare with us because of RTI, Specials, Lunch, and SMe (computer program

I often wonder why teachers want to do this. Who does it benefit? Is it
for the children or for themselves? They will say it is for the children,
but is it? I myself refuse to switch kids for reading or math. If you are
truly doing a workshop it is not necessary. Also, when you group by

I would like to speak to the issue of departmentalization regarding
specials. This year, I am one of the specials, as I am teaching Art to
Kindergarten, First, and Second grades in three schools. I can tell you

If I were a teacher with permanent status, and my colleagues/principal
were pushing/forcing me to departmentalize, then I would go to my

I've been reading/skimming many of the posts this morning. I feel strongly
about doing what is best for kids and consider myself a whole langauge teacher.
However, I also realize that what works for one does not always work for all,

Before I begin this post, let me make sure that I define my terms.
Departmentalization means, to me, that the students have different teachers for

I'd like to respond to your question about Teaching with Intention.

Reading through the discussions about to departmentalize or to not
departmentalize and what is best for kids the ‘little boxes’ song seems to
reverberate. We have boxes to fill in, boxes to tick, assessment boxes, report
boxes, boxes to teach, subjects in boxes, teachers in their boxes and child
