Collaboration is vital in education. It enhances critical thinking by exposing students to diverse perspectives, improves communication skills, and fosters empathy and social awareness. While some may fear it leads to dependency, structured collaboration promotes accountability. I believe that once students begin to master that balance everyone develops the overall key to success which is an interconnected essential skill of teamwork and problem-solving.

In my classroom how well students collaborate can mean they have a finished tasty product or a nasty mess; finishing on time or running out of time!

Collaboration is very important for students to learn the value of teamwork and experience working with others so it will not be a shock when they get in the real world. I try to have students do peer-tutoring, groupwork and working with different students not just the same.

Collaboration is really important because life is a group project. No matter where you go or what you do for a career, you have to be able to work with others. Teaching middle school I found it a lot easier to get students to work with each other. They may not have always been happy about it or they may have argued but they did interact. Teaching high school the student almost always try to do what I call split and splice to complete group work. they split up the tasks and that is the last time they talk to each other until they put it all together to turn in. I'm very interested in learning better ways to help and encourage students collaborate more effectively. I like the idea of a collaboration log as shown in the video, so students can really reflect on their own efforts and the efforts of group members throughout a project. I agree with other participants who have reiterated the great importance of teaching and developing collaboration skills in the classroom.

Collaboration is important in many circumstances. While you can learn from one another, more so with learning to work with different personalities, work ethics, responsibilities, etc. There is great value in sharing ideas and putting heads together, there are drawbacks as well. Collaboration is a skill should be familiar with.

Collaboration is the ability to work with other people.
I see a great value in being able to collaborate with people who teach the same subject as you do. It helps when other people or yourself is stuck on what to do next.

Collaboration is a key to life in and out of school.  People in general need to know how to collaborate to be successful.  If students can learn to collaborate early in life, they will be able to collaborate with anyone as they get older.
I use collaboration in different subject areas. Right now students are collaborating on narratives from their research animal's point of view from a common ecosystem.

1. Collaboration is such an important tool that is necessary regardless of your job. It is definitely a soft skill that can be honed and developed as a student in a classroom. I believe we have the power and ability to help students grow into great collaborators.
2. I use collaboration differently in my classroom based on the assignment and type of content I'm trying to deliver. For projects, students do a lot of self-collaboration where they have to work together towards a common goal. Toward the end of one of my entry-level courses, students will design and create the design for a playground which requires the entire class to collaborate for a common Theme and common parts of the playground. It's sometimes crazy to manage but it's really teaching them a valuable skill for working with their peers, even if they're not necessarily friends with them.

I believe that, in addition to teaching my content area topics, it is also my inherent duty to teach my students skills that will help them succeed both generally in life and in their future workplaces. Teaching collaboration skills is one of the most important skills that I teach. One of my favorite examples is of a new after school club that I've started that centers around students creating a website (coding from scratch using HTML & CSS) that will showcase the original artwork, writing and video games of our school's students. In addition to learning new coding skills, students are learning how to organize themselves into creative teams and to work together to produce a tangible results that will be shared with the public. It's exciting to watch them grow.

Collaboration is important when trying to reach a common goal. I believe communication is a very important piece and it helps others to improve their listening skills. The fact that when you are collaborating, you are able to provide feedback and give your opinion to others is also important. The finale to me is reaching a common goal and having respect for each other's opinion. In both my APCSP and Entrepreneurship classes, they both require collaboration. My classes have lots of projects which require group and partner work. I love listening to the ideas and feedback that students give to each other in a respectful manner. This helps them to broaden their thinking and go outside the box. Collaboration is the highlight of my day because of the communication amongst my students.

I believe it is essential for students to work in collaboration often. Teaching them what that looks like and providing practice and feedback is critical for successful collaborative learning.

1. I believe the value of collaboration is that in life it is necessary to work with others. By practicing collaboration, students can get used to the idea of working with classmates from diverse backgrounds.
2. I am new to my current school, but a previous example is that I incorporated the Monopoly board game to teach accounting concepts with students being separated into teams. It was fun & they were learning the desired concepts at the same time!

Collaboration is an essential skill to teach students, especially after spending several years at home due to COVID. This and teamwork are skills that the students today are missing and need the most support in developing for the future. When using collaboration in my classes through group assignments, tests, and projects, I find it somewhat challenging to manage groups that aren't working well together because it sometimes requires me to disrupt another group that is successful in collaboration.

The value of collaboration skills for students in and outside of the classroom has become a desirable skill no matter the situation. It has been a pleasure to watch students increase their communication skills in addition to their increased ability of respecting their peers. My role is now more of a facilitator as students engage with one another to solve coding challenges.

The key to being successful in today's workforce is collaboration. Working as part of a team, the ability to listen to other's ideas, and communicating within a group setting are key to employers. By teaching students how to collaborate correctly we are helping our students become more workforce ready.

Collaboration skills are important for students to use in and outside of the classroom. Students learn to work well with one another and to remain open to new ideas. Students learn how best to collaborate during cooking labs. They lean on each other and rely on one another's strengths in order to achieve a common goal.

One of my courses involves a student driven morning news program.  Students in this class must collaborate in a variety of ways to produce the program; teams working together to gather, present, and film news and sports stories, other teams working together to edit segments into a cohesive show.  Additionally, there are a number of products that must be made (animations, backgrounds, equipment set-up and dismantling).  the better the students are at collaborating, the better the product.  And it shows.

Collaboration is required in most workplace situations, so it should be included in education. It allows students to explore ideas together, improve their communication skills, and see what areas they need to improve on related to working with others. Collaboration also increases student engagement and enjoyment in learning.
In an Excel class, I grouped students and assigned each group a function in Excel that they needed to all understand, then create an example to teach the class that was recorded using screencastify. Their tutorials were added to a presentation for the class. Excel can be boring for students. This gave students a challenge to learn the function well enough to teach others and create an example. Adding a new software element also made it more interesting for students.
After watching the video in this course, I will use the goals and roles chart in future collaborative assignments.

I teach business so collaboration in the business world is one of the key aspects of success as well as effective communication. In my class I have my students collaborate and create a shoe designed specifically for the target audience that they pick. Students have to talk to each other and collaborate on ideas and agree on a target audience, shoe style, design, and colors.

Collaboration is a very important piece for students in that it inspires social skill building for students. In class many times I will have the student that is bashful but knowledgeable about the course content. Collaboration allows for the opportunity to interact and develop social interactions which in turn will help to develop better team building skills.

Collaboration is important for all students to learn because it is one of those soft skills that CTE prides itself on helping students learn to further them after their educational career. Hopefully it will allow them to see others points of views more clearly and use those points of view to make better products, or find better solutions to problems.

The value of collaboration at the high school level is important because it helps build other skills that students usually do not develop with a lecture or working by themselves. In CTE I think we all use collaboration to complete projects not only with our classes but also when we combine classes for longer projects

The value of collaboration is very important and if completed correctly can improve the quality and time it takes to complete projects both in school and the workplace.
I use collaboration in our commentation project that has students providing commentary, statistics, and commercials for a live game. This typically helps student become more comfortable trying their best and actually showing excitement while in the classroom.

Collaboration is very important in the classroom. Students learn to problem-solve with a peer on a deeper level than with the teacher. The social interaction between students strengthens their communication skills, outlook on the subject and overall well-being. When students are actively engaged in this type of learning the teacher become the facilitator.
