It is not practical for any new or experienced teacher to work in isolation. Unfortunately, many teachers work under curricular pressures and tough times. Since school districts don’t provide teachers with much-needed specific guidelines on how to collaborate, teachers must develop their own collaboration plan. This leaves many teachers feeling isolated and uncomfortable initiating their own collaboration plan. And sadly, many school districts have yet to prioritize the importance of collaboration as a critical aspect of survival for new teachers.

However, in some districts, the districts provide a collaborative model. A model is a system of guidelines that the administration usually gives to teachers. Teachers are expected to follow such models, which can take many different forms. Each model has its own set and weaknesses.

So let’s talk a little bit about why collaboration is beneficial and important for teachers. In a collaborative context, teachers realize the benefits of working together. Collaboration saves time and maximizes the curriculum. In addition, teachers spend less time working in isolation. Your own collaboration process is unique because it reflects your experience and goals.

The first step in creating a collaborative plan is knowing the capabilities of the students. As part of our collaborative plan, we began to create a working definition of our struggling English learners in general education and ESL settings. We wanted to create a possible model to implement collaboration techniques.

Of course, we knew that we would also need to monitor ourselves in implementing the guidelines. In a collaborative plan, teachers also monitor themselves in the implementation of the guidelines. They also document their students’ progress and plan as a whole to ensure continued success.

Different teachers also share similar instructional goals, although the curriculum may differ in different educational settings. When teachers successfully develop a plan for their own collaboration, they ensure that their educational goals and objectives are met. then it makes sense to learn what works for other teachers so they can meet the needs of their own struggling English learners and readers.
