Collaboration among teachers creates and enhances quality of education in producing great

materials and to ensure that the students are fully utilized with skills and knowledge. There are a
few ways to collaborate with other teachers such as create a truly shared vision and goals,
develop a sense of community, identify group norms, use discussion and dialogues and work
through conflict. Strong collaboration and collaborative cultures develop over time and require
commitment to the process. While the benefits are clear, genuine collaboration is complex.
Patience in the moment and anticipation for the outcome can lead to deep teacher learning that
translates into tangible student achievement. With time, teachers can develop authentic
collaborative communities in which they address common issues, shared goals or school-wide
initiatives; engage in mutually beneficial endeavors using communal resources; and advance
their skills, knowledge, and dispositions related to student learning.
