3. The Teacher and the Common theme
• Teacher collaboration involves
teachers working together to achieve a
common goal through the sharing of
evidence-informed practices,
knowledge, and problem-solving.
Teacher quality improves when
teachers recognize their own expertise
and feel comfortable in offering it,
while also being open to accepting the
advice and feedback of others.
4. Teacher collaboration involves
teachers working together to lead,
instruct, and mentor students with
the goal of improving student
learning and achievement. Sharing
ideas would have been easy under
the old setup where teachers
attend school on-site and attend
classes face-to-face.
