Progressive goal setting from 1 to 6 and awareness of profile level of self as TL and stakeholders, parents, colleagues, students,admin and community . Use of "I" statements is effective. For example P2 level is, "I co operate with others for specific purpose."  advancing outward to P6 where the collaboration groundwork has been facilitated so partnerships can be made easier for the benefit of student learning. "I can connect my group with other groups in broader networks in and out of school for various purposes"
As a TL this means facilitating an advocacy  group in  a SLLC committee  whom support this vision and mission actions so they too can advocate for the TL collectively advancing the SLLC's impact in the school. By creating  a PLN and joining professional networks TL's advance as educational leaders who can share their mission . For  example of best PLN for school Librarians click here  .edublogs;. TL's  collaborative foundation strengthens their collaborative efforts of support going forward in working towards  SLLC's vision and goals collaboratively.

Collaboration is a trusting, working relationship between two or more equal participants involved in shared thinking, shared planning and shared creation of integrated instruction. Through a shared vision and shared objectives, student learning opportunities are created that integrate subject content and information literacy by co-planning, co-implementing, and coevaluating students’ progress throughout the instructional process in order to improve student learning in all areas of the curriculum. (ALA,2005) and
I also like this definition "Collaboration is a philosophy of interaction in which there is an underlying premise of consensus building"(Kanter 1996)

TL's need to put themselves in the Teacher's perspective and value their input as well as relationship level,  asking "What can we do for you? TL's need to be seen as educational leaders open to trying new tools and evaluating and weeding to ensure resources that match schools unique needs and collaborating to share them in meaningful ways.
"During our conversation, the TL is willing to listen to me, assess my students needs, reflect on a array of resources and learning to support us, and then supply them in a timely easy manner." " Students begin to see the TL's as a learning partner- a more authentic support of what's happening in the classroom"
