Intense collaboration is a core professional value among staff members. All teachers meet together every morning before school begins for ten minutes to discuss the day's events and imminent student concerns. All staff also meets weekly to share common practices and to reflect upon their students' needs. Teachers meet by department weekly and by grade level at least once a month. Every spring, teachers attend a weekend retreat to reflect on the current school year and to set goals and plan for the upcoming year. Teachers regularly visit each other's classrooms, visit other schools, and attend professional development workshops. The professional conversations extend from the school year into annual summer meetings.
Since TSMS began, administrative and support staff members have played a key role with the teachers in both the school's development and the support of students. Overall, all staff members at TSMS are invested partners in both the current practices and continued growth of the TSMS community.
