28. The Collaboration Continuum: Building Interdependence Through Partnership Collaboration has the highest impact on student achievement. Collaboration is “2 (or more) equal partners who create a project or unit of study based on content standards in one or more content areas, a unit that will be team-designed, team-taught, and team-evaluated.” Research from Todd, Ross: http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/~cissl/research/ohio.html Interdependence Cooperation Coordination Collaboration Finding a website or a book for a teacher upon request. Showing a teacher how to use a digital camera or book a laptop cart upon request. Introducing the document cameras to a team when asked. Setting up a learning space with appropriate resources to “kick off” a unit. Teaching a “one-off” lesson that fits with the curriculum. Planning a unit to coincide with core curriculum which is independently taught by specialist. Sharing goals Carefully defined roles in the process Comprehensive co-planning Co-planning units that will be team taught. Team-teaching units which authentically embed both curricular goals. Units which are team-taught are co-assessed. Isolation Helping when a question is asked Planning when a lesson or an activity happens which supports core curriculum “ a prolonged and interdependent relationship”

30. an integrated support team

32. differentiated progress

33. Frequent & consistent collaborative planning, learning and assessment: Classroom teacher and technology facilitator work as full partners in the planning, learning (teaming in the classroom) and assessment process. Regular collaborative planning, learning and assessment: Classroom teacher asks technology facilitator for assistance in planning, learning (teaming in the classroom) and assessment as needed. Occasional collaborative planning, learning and assessment: Classroom teacher works with technology facilitator outside of class time to plan and implement projects. Occasional teaming in the classroom, as needed. Occasional conversations: Technology facilitator offers helpful advice and tips to classroom teacher as s/he tackles new projects at their own pace. Classroom teacher actively assists other team members in use of technology. The Collaboration Cycle: Building Independence Through Partnership Pre-assessment of skills, readiness & interest Post-assessment, graduated expert, teacher mentor Consistent Professional Development Opportunities : after school walk-in sessions 3 days per week, curriculum planning at the team level, individual assistance as needed, advice and tips offered to teachers and teams as appropriate to curricular needs.
