To Collaborate...Or To Collaborate
I used to feel a little frustrated by the thought of having to teach someone else's lesson plan. I was told that the elementary teachers work in grade level teams to plan lessons. Such as, all the first grade teachers work together or "collaborate" and one teacher is in charge of making all the lessons for only Math or one teacher is in charge of making all the lessons for Reading and so on. I have come to feel more comfortable with the idea of being able to collaborate with other teachers that will be teaching the same grade. Collaboration leads me to believe that you can get more accomplished in less time and you will have more brains to pick when it comes to lesson ideas. I hope that I can be a team player and do well at it, specifically in the technology area of things. This article has gave me some better thoughts toward collaboration and I would encourage anyone to read this. Especially, if you feel you might be on the fence about the whole process.

I think collaboration for teachers is a great thing. I think it will be different as a new teacher to get use to but I have oberserved in a first grade class and they did this. It was neat casue they graded things together and came up with great activities together. Even though they each made lesson plans for one subject they always checked with each other before finalizing plans. I watched them grade stories for kids and they read each other's classes stories and that made it easier for them to realize things that needed to be worked on because they didn't watch that kid do work everyday. It was just so neat to see how well they worked together and communicated together
ReplyDeleteMy idea of collaboration isn't one person doing math and one person doing reading...it is more about the discussion of what is best practice and talking about it. If the lesson plan that was given to me was full of worksheets, I would be so upset. You have to plan T O G E T H E R.
