A1: Ss collaborating and Ts collaborating both win win for Ss! #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Nov 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 I think it builds in a chance to talk about what we're learning. When we can explain our thinking we learn more deeply #novaedchat

heyMattFrat Nov 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. Synergy and positive outcomes are inevitable when two+ educators with a shared vision work together #novaedchat #CoTeachAlwaysPlzAndTY

Techy_Margaret Nov 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Also we get to hear a wider perspective than what's in our own head. Often times we learn really great things from teammates #novaedchat

ehmukai Nov 2 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Hi #NoVaEdChat - I'm Ellen from Fairfax and I work with amazing #fcpsSBTS

KamiSchools Nov 2 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Collaboration is so easy now, and is so useful because Ss can be grouped strategically, e.g. based on level of understanding #novaedchat

RickinFCPS Nov 2 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 My ideas always end up better once they have been challenged/tempered by the input of others (much to my chagrin.) #novaedchat

A1 Ss are the winners of collaborative Ts.Lessons are more rigorous, perspectives wider, experiences for Ss more innovative #novaedchat

Top 10 Halloween Classroom Parties Snack Ideas https://t.co/CJqvbJ2KUj #NOVAedchat #ntchat #siedchat #vted #SASDCHAT #SchoolofCharacter

Techy_Margaret Nov 2 @ 8:15 PM EDT

So I think we combined questions 1 and 2 in our answers for that first one :) #novaedchat

jcjarski51 Nov 2 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: #collaboration b/w Ts allows each other to showcase their strengths. Great things happen when Ts work together. #novaedchat

zwaaa Nov 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2. Collaboration allows teachers to share insights, strategies, tools, and so many other things. #novaedchat

abctec Nov 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: it allows for different perspectives and strengths in the best interests of Ss. #novaedchat

JTillman1999 Nov 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

I sure did! But I can always expand! :) #novaedchat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret

A2 How don't Ss benefit from collaboration? more than 1 teaching style, communication style, resources for help...#novaedchat

zwaaa Nov 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

a2. continued We are no longer entities unto ourselves. We must work together as a TEAM!!! #novaedchat

RickinFCPS Nov 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Absolutely! I am struggling to find an A2 diffrent from my A1. #novaedchat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret

jcjarski51 Nov 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: When Ts and Cs work together it allows everyone to work toward a common goal. There is no "I" in TEAM #novaedchat

basil_marin Nov 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2:Ts are able to impact S learning through fostering positive S efficiency!! As Ts, we must believe that all Ss can learn! #novaedchat

Techy_Margaret Nov 2 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1 - LOVE when teachers talk about what works, learn from each other to improve. Like @DylanWilliam says https://t.co/ywxMFJI4mA #novaedchat

In reply to @DylanWilliam

JTillman1999 Nov 2 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 When Ts collaborate Ss leave get same opportunties with different spin. Not about luck of T you get. #Equal #Access for all #novaedchat

RickinFCPS Nov 2 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Yes! Multiple perspectives in Ts planning lead to multiple student strengths / learning styles being tapped into. #novaedchat

In reply to @GCMLibrary

heyMattFrat Nov 2 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 All I know is, I will try hard to never be the only teacher in a classroom for the remainder of my career #novaedchat #techCoachesCollab

Sharing ideas, learning from 1 another & growing skills translate into improved teaching methods & strategies #novaedchat

A1 (2nd attempt): When Ss collaborate they learn how to share ideas, accept other perspectives, and share responsibility #novaedchat

Techy_Margaret Nov 2 @ 8:21 PM EDT

When I wrote them, I was thinking about the Ss collaborating in 1 and Ts collaborating in 2. Sorry! #novaedchat @RickinFCPS

Q3 What struggles have you encountered with #collaboration? How might we overcome these challenges? #NoVAedchat

RickinFCPS Nov 2 @ 8:25 PM EDT

That requires a culture of trust. That hasn't always been in place everywhere I have worked. #novaedchat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret

academicESOL Nov 2 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#NoVAEdChat It keeps the communication channels open when many people are in the classroom and everyone has the same goal.

#novaedchat That is awesome. We can't be afraid to share as Ts. Be flattered when someone uses your ideas. Then take one of theirs.

#NoVAEdChat I'm a "just do it" kind of person, and I have problems with people that need to talk or process more. Getting better though.

KamiSchools Nov 2 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Having all Ss contribute equally, I have found this nearly impossible. Any tips from the T here? #novaedchat

GCMLibrary Nov 2 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 for me, the hardest part is making sure the T and I are on the same page in the planning part. #novaedchat

A3 #collaboration is challenging when you forget common goal & focus on independent goals. #refocus #restructure #setpriorites #novaedchat

jcjarski51 Nov 2 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: challenges with #collaboration with Ts is their perspective to teaching. I've been successful on my own, so why change. #novaedchat

heyMattFrat Nov 2 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 Personalities, rigid and otherwise, are a big barrier, but ending a collab is usually a worse outcome then persevering #novaedchat

If it aint broke... where is the compelling case to change it! #novaedchat

In reply to @jcjarski51

ehmukai Nov 2 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: Some collaboration challenges for me include finding a common time to meet, and agreeing on what task takes priority #NoVaEdChat

Techy_Margaret Nov 2 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Most of these challenges seem to come back to trust and #relationships #novaedchat

A3 Personalities, rigid and otherwise, are a big barrier, but ending a collab is usually a worse outcome then persevering #novaedchat

jcjarski51 Nov 2 @ 8:31 PM EDT

The question is how to reach those reluctant Ts and make them want to be adventurous #novaedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Nov 2 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Q3: time is always a struggle.We need to be creative and use technology (e.g. G-hangout) to collaborate in non-traditional ways #novaedchat

RickinFCPS Nov 2 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3 Appreciating different learning / processing styles in my colleagues is important to collaboration. #notjustforstudents #novaedchat

Wine4theWhine Nov 2 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Sometimes collaboration can be hard with closed minds. Can feel like you're speaking in circles. #stopcollaborateandlisten #novaedchat
