When we talk about collaboration, we can be doing this with anyone we work with. For this post I want to talk about collaborating with our peers and or colleagues. It is so important that grade levels meet and talk with one another. Colleagues should also share important topics, ideas, themes, and objectives that may need to be covered in the grade you teach. If you teach Kindergarten, talk to the Pre-K teachers about what they are teaching and give some objectives that they should or could include to help children for the next year. Kinder teachers, go to the First Grade teachers and ask what you can do to help children to get ready for the next year.
Collaboration can mean so many different things. Just remember when you collaborate you are putting children first. You are doing what is best. If you don't have grade level meetings in your building, ask your principal if this is something you could start.
