A brief article from the Journal of Staff Development, What it Takes to Succeed
discusses the impact collaboration has on students, learning, and teachers.
The article stresses the importance of professional development to teach
collaborative strategies - and that collaboration cannot occur alone. If
these strategies are to be taught in class, teachers must also collaborate with
one another to create a greater, collaborative culture within the school.

Evaluation:

Though short, the article stresses the importance of collaboration and gives
examples on how it benefits students. The article goes further than most, however,
by stressing teachers must also work with one another, and administrators should
endeavor to teach these strategies as part as professional development courses.
This is a good starting point for beginners to learn about collaboration and
why it is important, without deluging them with a tremendous amount of information.
