Collaborating seems to be one of those buzzwords that's been around at least as long as I've been in education. Maybe we talk about it so much because teaching can be such a lonely profession. If you don't talk to your colleagues, you may feel like you're surrounded by students all day long.
Over the last three days of our summer conference, I've been impressed with the enthusiasm and extent to which we have collaborated. Maybe it's because all of this new curriculum forces teachers to either
a) do it all by themselves
b) rely on other teachers to shoulder the burden
Whatever the reason, it's great to see that we can put our minds together and lighten each of our collective loads.
