12. Good teaching and learning encourages collaboration
The ability to function effectively as a member of a team is one of the key skills regularly cited by employers as essential in the modern workplace and is an important feature of the Review’s proposals. Cooperative learning is also important in its own right. Hattie’s research is unequivocal in concluding that, ‘…cooperative learning is effective’. He cites a range of research evidence that highlights the positive effects of peer learning on motivation, problem solving and achievement. In this context, feedback from peers is particularly powerful and good planning and teaching will create structured contexts for that to take place constructively.

Brief Overview of context:
This book is clearly organized to show the need for and the design of Collaborative Professionalism with 5 key country cases- China, Norway, Colombia, Ontario, and the US. In the second part of the book these cases are used to uncover 10 tenets of collaborative professionalism such as collective efficacy, collaborative inquiry, and collaborating with students and shows how they work together for success. The final part clearly outlines practices we needs to stop happening (high teacher turnover), what should continue happening(good feedback), and what should start happening (empowering students more).
"Hargreaves and O’Connor have written an extraordinary book explaining, deepening, and teaching us how to transform teaching and learning in schools.
