In August, 2025 AMLE conducted a survey of its membership to better understand interdisciplinary teaming practices across middle schools. For the purposes of this survey, interdisciplinary teaming was defined for respondents as teams of two to five teachers representing the core subjects. The team shares the same schedule, students, area of the building, responsibility for the core courses, and has common planning time.
The survey included 301 schools represented across 46 states, Washington D.C., the DODEA, and 9 countries. The survey included a mix of geographic representation (26% Rural, 51% Suburban, 23% urban) and student populations:
- Less than 300: 12%
- 300 – 600: 32%
- 601-900: 27%
- 901 – 1200: 19%
- More than 1200: 9%
