Hi guys, I'm going to cover a couple of collaborative

practices that you can implement within your school system, both

broad broadly as in throughout the whole school and uh

More specific base as in in your own classroom.

So the first thing we're going to look at is

a post in from 2016 from the University of Texas

Arlington about teacher collaboration.

So uh collaborating, collaborating with their other colleagues to help

benefit students in the school overall.

So the first one I'm going to talk about, um

one way to collaborate with other teachers or colleagues is

through the use of meeting other teachers to create effective

lesson plans.

By this, I mean, you're going to create a lesson

plan with other teachers, um from the same discipline or

same subject, create a lesson plan implemented within your classroom

and then come back together to reflect on those lesson

plans and how they benefited your students, how they work,

how they didn't work, and then again create further lesson

plans and future lesson plans to build off of what

worked and what didn't work.

Another way to communicate and collaborate with other teachers or

colleagues is to create guidelines for overall class instruction and

management across across your school, across your classroom.

Um and you can do this through meeting with other

teachers and encouraging each other to communicate with one another

on how you should instruct within your class and overall

manage your classroom.

So again, this is a kind of another type of

meeting, a little more informal, even if it's just asking

another teacher for a quick piece of advice while students

are walking to their next classes.

And then the last thing I'm going to touch on

is more a community based um way to collaborate with

families and specifically at the students, families that you are

teaching. Um so from Kaufman, from a 2020 articles, she

wrote, one of the best ways to kind of collaborate

with the community or parents is through the use of

a newsletter.

Um one of the best parts about a newsletter is

you can put as much or as little into them.

Uh and and essentially you kind of create a little

infographic almost or information specifically based from their students, that

you can send out monthly.

And what this does is it helps you communicate with

each uh family and you can provide them things like

homework tips or due dates, um for assignments, when tests

are coming up, things like that, this helps create a

kind of level playing field.

So parents or caregivers know exactly what is expected of

their students.

So thanks for listening guys and I hope you can

implement these in your own classroom.
