This chapter is about collaboration between teachers. I have never heard of this concept but it is brilliant. By doing this, students benefit because there is no confusion between grades because the teachers know what is exactly taught and they won't be skipping out on subjects or topics.
In the Spotlight section, Elise collaborated with four other teachers. She said that they "have a 'gotta know' attitude" as well as making sure that they push each other to take their projects to the next level. This is a really good idea because as teachers, we want our students to be prepared as they continue their educational careers. The more we push ourselves to explore further or think of how to make our lessons or projects better by using technology, the more the students will know to take with them.
Collaboration between teachers seems to be essential in the school. You want to have a team of teachers that will challenge your thinking as well as improving the way you teach. You also want to be able to work with a group of in which everybody puts an effort forth. The list that Boss and Krauss has provided in this chapter is extremely helpful in what to look for in a group.
