In your opinion, describe why you think communication is a key component to collaborative practice. Give a few examples and use a personal anecdote to support your view.
Communication is key in collaboration because without it there is no collaboration. Communication is the key to a successful relationship. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship, personal, professional, or social. Communication is going to make it work or not work. Collaboration is the bouncing ideas off one another to get to a common goal. There has to be one common goal or one focal point. All the discussion and idea sharing is for the group(collaborators) to come to that goal or reach that focal point. A personal anecdote of mine is on a SWAT callout we as a team get together to make an entry plan. An entry plan is a plan on how you're going to gain access into the location you desire to get into. One opf the team members had gone into the house before so he knew the layoutr of the place and he also knew that the suspect always ran out side door to the backyard. By him sharing this with the team we positioned the k9 unit in the backyard by the back door. We hit the front of the house, made entry, and as the suspect ran out the side door to the backyard the k9 greeted him, as only a k9 can. Collaboration was the key to our success.
Steve, This is a great example of how collaboration can lead to team success. I like the layout of your blogspot. It is easy to navigate and looks professional. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rick Greg, that this is a great example of collaboration that needs to happen in our profession as teachers, we need to have that one teacher that knows the layout of the student and know how he/she will react to our "entry" into their life.
