　　D. R. Gaul Middle School is in Union, Maine, a blueberry­farming town where the summer fair finds kids competing in pig scrambles and pie­eating contests.

　　Gaul, with about 170 seventh

　　and eighth graders, has its own history of lower level academic achievement. One likely reason: Education beyond the basic requirements hasn't always been a top priority for families who have worked the same land for generations. Here, few adults have college degrees, and outsiders (teachers included) are often kept at a respectful distance.

　　Since 2002, Gaul's students have been divided into four classes, each of them taught almost every subject by two teachers. The goal: To find common threads across disciplines to help students create a big picture that gives fresh meaning and context to their classwork — and sparks motivation for learning.

　　Working within state guidelines, each team makes its individual schedules and lesson plans, incorporating non­textbook literature, hands­on lab work and field trips. If students are covering the Civil War in social studies, they're reading The Red Badge of Courage or some other period literature in English class. In science, they study the viruses and bacteria that caused many deaths in the war.
