Working Together:Grououpwowork, Teamwowork, and Collollollaborative Work Among Teachers
This paper is one of the brief practitioner oriented pamphlets called On Points produced by the National Institute for Urban School Improvement (NIUSI). This On Point is for all teachers who want to explore issues around teamwork among educators. As schools restructure and reform for the 21st Century, educators are being required to work together in more ways. As teachers and other school professionals learn to work together in these (groupwork, teamwork, and collaborative work) and other ways, they will also learn about each other. The different skills and roles any general and special educators, specialists and families will begin to diminish as working together “cross pollinates” these capacities creating a new variety of “hybrid” professional. These new groups of teachers can bring to any task common store knowledge and skills as well as different areas of specialty. The author of this On Point provided detailed guidelines for how teachers effectively meet the demands to work together with other teachers.
