A lot of students don't think of the trust factor, but it is so true. I didn't even think of it until watching the video! #mesqchat

In reply to @FarrisHillTech

RLRogers22 May 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 - It puts students in charge of the learning instead of relying on the teacher. They learn to work together to reach a goal. #mesqchat

I love this! We need our Ss to be fearless thinkers. #mesqchat

In reply to @TRushing, @FarrisHillTech, @KWarnick13

CaraJackson5 May 4 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 The teacher has to be willing to give up control. The T has to encourage and allow the students to own their learning. #mesqchat

buskenbunch May 4 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2- effective collaboration takes time and practice. Ss are discussing, debating, communicating on a topic to create new ideas #mesqchat

CaraJackson5 May 4 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 - And teach Ss to have productive conversations with people who disagree with them so they can work through differences. #mesqchat

stooks_edtech May 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

That's huge- it opens their eyes that their solution may not always be the best as well! Teaches u to listen more talk less! #mesqchat

In reply to @KWarnick13, @TisingerTweets, @FarrisHillTech

mshutchNMHS May 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Relationship with Ss is key. They have to trust you and each other before any meaningful collaboration can happen. #mesqchat

slunzers May 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

When I think of K Ss it would need to be a daily exercise in norms and baby steps of the process #mesqchat

A2 Giving over control to the Ss and modeling good collaboration. Teach them what they need to know Let them show you they know it #mesqchat

  Q4 #mesqchat What does effective collaboration look like among educators?

tpreuninger May 4 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4 Should it look different from Ss? I don't think so. We need to share, be open, wiling, non-critical, thoughtful, etc. #mesqchat

Q5 #mesqchat How can our community of teachers create a culture of collaboration with one another?

mshutchNMHS May 4 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Taking risks is important, and hard to do. I find that having collaborators makes that risk easier to handle. #mesqchat

#mesqchat A3- listening is the key, scaffolding questions when necessary, standing just far enough away to listen without stifling.

CRRollins May 4 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5-Make it a point to openly share ideas. A shared google doc where people can add ideas is a start. #mesqchat

DocAmandaMartin May 4 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Peer tutoring is a powerful form of collaboration. It is a great way to hear it explained another way and also solidify learning! #mesqchat

FarrisHillTech May 4 @ 9:51 PM EDT

This is vital! Not having the best idea doesn't mean we don't have value. We must be secure in our own worth 2 truly collaborate. #mesqchat

A5 I think collaboration would happen naturally if we were all school teachers and not just classroom teachers #mesqchat

mshutchNMHS May 4 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A3: Collaboration requires communication, so I think we need to foster that first. Ts can't work with people they don't know! #mesqchat

mshutchNMHS May 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

So important! If we shoot each other down nothing good will come out of it. #mesqchat

Q5: Take the first step and ask other teachers what they think about your ideas and plans. Get their input and help #mesqchat

A5: take opportunities to learn from each other and MEET PEOPLE. Never be afraid to ask for help or ideas. We are better together. #mesqchat
