ABSTRACT
The positive impact that interdisciplinary teams can have on students lives became evident to the reader through two chance encounters that occurred within ten minutes during a single afternoon. Monique was buying a hamburger for her son at a local church fair when a beautiful young woman approached and hugged her. While searching her memory, Monique fell back on her standby conversational icebreaker and asked whether the young woman was still in school. Teamwork taught the reader to appreciate differences and deepened understanding of how every teacher and student can contribute to the academic, social, and emotional development of other team members. Teamwork will enable the people to ask and answer these and other difficult questions about a profession.
