Collaboration

To get the most out of any pursuit, including competitions, having a team of supportive peers and mentors makes all the difference. And while having collaboration in the classroom sounds like a great idea, it doesn't just happen. Individuals of all ages need to be trained to collaborate effectively, and this training will last a lifetime. Before collaboration can even begin, the groundwork of a kind space where all ideas are welcome must be cultivated and modeled. The quest for information needs to supersede ego and fear. In other words, the process once again is more important than the outcome.

Let's say that you've accomplished the first step of creating a welcoming collaborative atmosphere. Now what? How do you help your students collaborate well and effectively? As with all things, practice is the best way to shape skills.

Here are five steps to creating successful problem-solving teams:

Develop trust. This can be done by starting small with simpler lesson plans or even “welcoming” situations where students practice greeting each other in a positive way at the start of class. Set up scenarios where the students can role play what they think a kind and collaborative group would look like and build from there. Suggestion. Randomize teams of students to work together so they can build relationships. The randomization can be as simple as “talk to the student to your right” or “all students born in May, work together,” etc.
