Let's make collaboration a daily, core activity. In the end, "relationships are the deepest learning" (Seidel, 2022).

Conditions for Collaboration

Collaboration is learned only by doing. So what conditions make it possible to doing? The followings conditions are to be considered and all must be met to foster collaboration:

• Frequency: Working collaboratively as a team is a central daily activity.

• Necessity: Needs each other to accomplish goals and tasks and to meet expectations. Goals and tasks are group-worthy.

• Relevance: Teams see the content and the level of tasks relevant to them; rigorous, but competent enough.

• Diversity: A team is composed of people who have different elements of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, sexual identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, socioeconomic status, personality, or strengths). Differences are honored.

• Psychological safety: A team feels safe and comfortable to bring their whole self and to work together.

• Physical space: Teams have space to work collaboratively.
