Interdisciplinary teams "DVHS interdisciplinary teams are used at the 9th, 10th, and 11th grade levels. The team concept utilizes the smaller school within a school organization, which, among other advantages, allow for common planning time for teachers.
Usually each interdisciplinary team includes teachers from each discipline and approximately 165 students. The teachers have a common planning/conference time when the students are in physical education classes or elective classes.
The teams are aimed towards providing a sense of identity and a family-like atmosphere for the students[2]."
