Teacher Collaboration (CenterFocus No. 2)

This is not all that recent--pub date is 1993, research is from the 80's. However, the points are as germane as ever. Meeting is not collaborating! Teachers need to move out of their classrooms and into collegial relationships with each other, for students sakes and for themselves.

- current major educational reforms call for
  extensive, meaningful teacher collaboration.
- collegiality breaks the isolation of the classroom and
  brings career rewards and daily satisfactions. It avoids end-of-year
  burn-out and stimulates enthusiasm. Instead of grasping for the single
  dramatic event or the special achievements of a few children as the
  main source of pride, teachers are more able to detect and celebrate a
  pattern of accomplishments within and across classrooms (Little, 1987,
  p. 497).
- 9 more annotations...
- - The complexities introduced by a new curriculum or by the need to
    refine an existing curriculum are challenging. Teacher teamwork makes
    these complex tasks more manageable, stimulates new ideas, and
    promotes coherence in a school's curriculum and instruction.
  - teacher collaboration is rare
  - school faculty is an assemblage of entrepreneurial
    individuals. Teachers see each other in odd moments before the school
    day begins, between periods, at lunch, and in occasional after-school
    meetings.
  - Training and assistance
  - o observe and
    experience hands-on activities in each others' classes
  - small groups
    of two to six teachers are better than larger groups
  - it
    is fragile
  - When teachers work as colleagues, it produces greater
    coherence and integration to the daily work of teaching. Further, it
    equips individual teachers, groups of teachers, and their schools for
    steady improvement. In short, it helps to organize the school as an
    environment for learning to teach.
  - joint action cannot occur where it is impossible or prohibitively
    costly in organizational, political, or personal terms

- The retail industry and service professions need entry-level employees who understand the world beyond our shores, can communicate in writing and manipulate databases.
- Our high schools produce graduates who do not write well enough, have limited reasoning skills, are unable to use the tools of mathematics and whose command of science is far inferior to that of their counterparts in other nations.
The Great College Hoax - Forbes.com

Interesting article that has implications for a college prep school. What if there's a big downturn in college attendance among America's young adults?
