All three noted there had been quite a bit of time since college, so it was hard to remember. The parent said she'd guess that her advanced writing course was the most helpful, as most of her communication happens via email.

All three said they have no choice but to collaborate with peers, and they will continue doing so. They did not speak to co-teaching or consulting specifically.

Only two answered this one, and they both said it's about making time in their schedule, noting again that it is "quick and easy" to keep status quo.

This was interesting. The mom (speaking of her job in advertising), the Special Ed teacher (speaking of his collaboration with regular ed teachers) and the principal (speaking of collaborating with peers in administration) were all quite confident that they did this well. They all listed that they had the skills we mentioned as necessary, but at the very end the principal said "I guess, though, you should ask my peers if I'm as good as I think I am.". He was joking, but its true: others can really judge us best in this sense.

All three noted the willingness to consider other's opinions, new ideas, and differing working styles as essential to effectively collaborate. The principal talked of active listening, noting that everyone needs to clear the mind, wait to speak, and really hear the other person. The Special Ed teacher again used the term "ego checking". (I'm guessing this has happened to him more than once...)

All three mentioned the difficulty in making time in everyone's schedules to meet, noting it is quicker to do things alone. Personality traits, such as ego, close-mindedness, controlling, were mentioned as hindrances. The Special Ed teacher noted that some teachers are not fans of inclusion and don't feel his students should be in their classes. Those teachers have no interest in true collaboration. The principal noted he sees issues at times when a veteran teacher works with a rookie, as a baby boomer and a millennial view things very differently.

All three named several positive benefits to collaboration, most common being that teachers can utilize each other's expertise. Variation and exposure to different teaching styles was also repeated. Co teaching varied, primarily because of each individual's experience. The parent had a negative experience with her daughter in a co-teaching classroom, so that shaped her opinion. The Special Ed teacher said he could not do his job without co-teaching and he feels his kids have better academic results because of it, and the principal noted that collaboration and co-teaching were a part of the culture.

All three mentioned personality as a key component to collaboration. Phrases like "being open minded", "checking ego", "not being pushy" came up, as well as work ethic. All partners in a collaboration need to "pull their own weight", not doing too little, and not trying to do it all.

All three interviewees gave similar definitions for collaboration, and included key words like " working together"," 50/50", and partnership. Co teaching depended on the person's experience. The mom viewed it as two teachers sharing the same class, the special Ed teacher viewed it as sharing responsibilities for particular students, and the principal said it depended on school structure.
