Collaboration is an essential skill for thriving in today’s workplaces and communities. This module helps students learn how to work effectively with others by respecting diverse perspectives, sharing leadership, managing conflict, and leveraging the strengths of a team to reach a shared goal. By integrating the SBCSS Employability Skills into the classroom, educators can empower students to build collaboration skills that foster teamwork, creativity, and collective problem-solving.

Aligned to California’s Career Ready Practices, this content supports students in developing transferable skills through interactive presentations, real-world scenarios, and career-connected activities. Students will explore how collaboration influences workplace success, document their learning in a career portfolio, and practice sharing their teamwork experiences to prepare for future job interviews and professional opportunities.

This page includes a teacher guide, student resources, and all necessary links to help implement the Collaboration module, equipping students with the skills to work effectively as part of a diverse, productive team in school, work, and life.

The teacher guide, presentations, and worksheets have been adapted from Oregon Employability Skills and tailored to meet the needs of our region.
