Hello everyone, my name is Stephanie Young and I teach 5th grade ELA. I have been teaching for the past nine years. I’ve  been teaching “Where the Learning Resides” at Lincoln Prep for the last four years and love it. My present role is a fifth grade ELA teacher. I collaborate with my para and others by sharing my thoughts and ideas to ensure that we’re abreast with our students. I feel that communication is very vital for the community of Lincoln Prep. Communication should always be first and foremost in everything we do.

What is your first and last name? What do you teach? How many years have you been teaching? How many years have you taught at Lincoln Prep? In your present role at LPS, how do you collaborate with colleagues? What do you feel is important for effective group collaboration to take place?

My name is LaDonna Qualls. I am a 5th and 6th grade Science teacher. I have been in the education field for 14 years. This is my 5th year teaching. This is my first year teaching at Lincoln Preparatory School. I have daily conversations with teachers to decide how to best teach our children. In order for the best education for our students teachers will have to be able to collaborate to come up with great ideas to give the students the best knowledge we can give to them.

Hi! This is my 16th year teaching. I've been teaching at LP for 5 years. We collaborate during our planning period or after school. It has been a little hard to collaborate like we would want since we have been moving from location to location. It is important to have effective group collaboration because it helps to build a healthy relationship with the LP team. Also, it allows us to dive into data to help our student progress throughout the year.

My name is pronounced “Dan-Duh-Ricuh”. I am a new-hire with LPS teaching 4th grade ELA and Social Studies. I am new to the profession. I enjoy working with Mr. Harvey so much! He is a dream! We collaborate at least three times per week to discuss student progression, curriculum standards, classroom management, among other things. Our collaborations are important to us as we educate with a student-first objective in an effort to maximize children’s pathways to success.

I am the fourth grade math/science teacher at LPS. After14 years as an educator (this is my second year with LPS), I have come to realize that collaborations with other educators is vital and must be consistent. Effective group collaboration to me is team-building on a consistent basis where everyone is safe and valued. Data is important, too, so collaborators should be ready to provide details on accomplishments as well as deficiencies.

I am a 3rd grade ELA / Social Studies teacher #3rdGradeIsTheBestGrade. I have been at Lincoln Prep for 4 years. My present role is the 3rd-5th grade team leader. We collaborate during our daily planning time as a grade level and subject level. In order to have effective group collaboration there must be a shared goal and mission. All people involved should be "drinking the koolaid" and have agreed upon expectations and share the desire to reach the same outcome.

I teach 3rd grade math and science. This is my seventh year of teaching and this is my fourth year teaching at LP. I try to use planning time to collaborate with others, but I think we collaborate the most during the two weeks of training before school starts. In order to collaborate effectively, we need more time to do so.

I've been i the classroom for 7 years, and have been at my current school for the past 2 years. Currently, our school has weekly planning meetings built into our schedule. In order to have effective collaboration, a process must be in place that allows time for all voices to be heard and respected, but managed in such a way that the discussion stays on time, on topic, and problems are met with solutions.
