Rationale: Independent Reading Program Students who read independently, especially outside of the classroom, show significant improvement in comprehension, vocabular, spellng, and writing. Students who read a variety of text (fiction and non-fiction - magazines, newspapers, online) are better equipped to comprehend texts in all content areas, and are more likely to develop a lifelong appreciation of reading.

The definition of collaboration in Webster's dictionar is to work jointly with others or together especially in an intellectual endeavor. A second definition is that collaboration is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together in an intersection of common goals. Dufour and Eaker (1998) note that the fit characteristics of a Professional Learng Community is developing what they call shared mission, vision, values, and goals. The question asks, "Why do we exist?" "What are we here to do together?" and "What is the business of our business?"
