Examples and Types of Collaboration

Here our Curriculum Coach asked me to provide resources about developing research questions. 

The US History Curriculum Coach mentioned that working with graphs was a challenge for our students, so I developed some materials the US History teachers could use as bell ringers or as sub work on graphs related to their content. 

The AP Spanish came to me and asked if we could meet and collaborate through her next semester. We met twice working through her whole next semester, the units she planned to teach, the summatives, and the scaffolding. I gave her ideas/twists and tweaks. Then I provided resources that we had through MackinVia or the Commons itself. We also created a "Think Tank" where I continued to add resources on topics that I now knew she was working on. She checked out books on my recommendation that fit her interests. 

Over the course of the semester, we met several times to hone writing skills since our yearbook teacher is a digital art and design teacher, not an English teacher. This example is where I could help a CTE class based on my background. 

This teacher wanted to find a way to incorporate research into her course, so we developed an annotated bibliography project that we co-taught. This work involved several days over a few weeks.
