The learning is more effective when there is a collaboration among the learners. This morning, our Math Department had a collaborative planning meeting. Our main task was to create anchors for our brief constructed response (BCR) grading.
The teachers grouped themselves by grade level, answered the DC BAS C BCR items, compared their answers, collaborated, and agreed on the requirements of a score 3, basing on the district wide scoring guide. They copied their anchors on the chart papers as a preparation for their grading on Monday.
This process of collaboration helped our teachers a lot because they could express their own thinking and could share their expertise with each other, as well as learned from each other's ideas.
I saw how the teachers brainstormed and taught each other which reminded me of my BCR class students. I could really say how collaboration was very powerful not only among students but also among teachers. I even took their pictures which I will upload later.
I am sure that the learning takes place more effectively in every collaborative learning.
