The Collaboration Continuum:Building Interdependence Through Partnership

Interdependence

Cooperation Coordination Collaboration

• Finding a website or a book for a teacher upon request.• Showing a teacher how to use a digital camera or book a laptop cart upon request.• Introducing the document cameras to a team when asked.

• Setting up a learning space with appropriate resources to “kick off” a unit.• Teaching a “one-off” lesson that fits with the curriculum.• Planning a unit to coincide with core curriculum which is independently taught by specialist.

• Sharing goals• Carefully defined roles in the process• Comprehensive co-planning •Co-planning units that will be team taught.• Team-teaching units which authentically embed both curricular goals.• Units which are team-taught are co-assessed.
