Unfortunately not everyone is willing to collaborate so there are key barriers or hindrances that could prevent collaboration.
1. They have to want to. First of all individuals have to want to collaborate. You are always going to have those individuals that want to do it all on their own and do not want any help or to give any help. Unfortunately this makes it hard for individuals to work with people that are like this.
2. They have to be prepared. Sometimes you come across people who have a hard time getting it together and have a difficult time bringing things to the table that make the partnership worth while.
3. Time management plays a big part. With the way things are now a days with so many commitments and so much other stuff going on there are incidents where people have a hard time making time to collaborate or get together to solve problems collectively. Some may have family obligations or others might have other work obligations such as a second job, continuing their education, or coaching commitments. This makes it hard to find time to work collaboratively.

When in a district level administration position collaboration is key because every one wants to be able to get it right for the kids. Since there are different schools involved and many different teachers, some teachers may have skills that adapt better to their students then others. The administrations should be able to pick up on the teachers that are excelling with their students and through observation pick up on key elements that they do that works with the students. Through questioning and interviewing the teachers the administrator may be able to pick up on one or more things that could be done in order to help the other teachers excel as well. Through collaboration this helps the children in all different schools within the district do well which essentially helps everyone. Sometimes trial and error is the only way to see what works and what works one year may not work the next year, because the students are changing all the time so the administration has to be on top of new trends and ideas to help the teachers and the students.

To teachers collaboration is their ability to either work with other teachers or administrators in a close contact while they are able to voice concerns and have people in order to bounce ideas off of. If there is not good communication or the lack of the want to collaborate this makes it difficult for teachers to be able to get advice or to try and problem solve. This leaves them with one less resource that really should be accessible to everyone. When teachers collaborate they are able to get a different perspective that they would not have had otherwise. Teachers can go to more seasoned teachers and ask advice about behavior problems as well as how to deliver a sensitive subject to a group of students that may not be as receptive as the teacher would hope. When teachers have good communication skills with other teachers or administrators it takes a stress off of them so that they can talk things out with one another and come to a conclusion that will work best for the students so that they can get the most out of their learning environment.

To parents collaboration is children working together in order to figure out a problem or learn how to work together. This is an important life skill to learn when they are young because it leads to good productive working life skills later on. Children need to learn how to share responsibilities as well as learn how to work in groups where no one child does all the work or none of the work. Parents also want to feel like they can collaborate or talk to teachers as issues come up or they have concerns about their child within the classroom. Parents want to be able to feel like their concerns are taken seriously and that the teacher is going to take those concerns and see what they can do to alleviate them. A collaboration between the teacher and the parent might also include the teacher coming to the parent with concerns and the parent working on things at home with the child.
