[quote=Anonymous]The statement isn't meaningless. We just need more context. When I first read it, I thought the comment was making a reference to how we need to place a high value on collaboration. I am a principal (not in MCPS), and would rather hire the bright teacher who may not know all the teaching strategies but is a great collaborator over the teacher who can teach really well in the classroom, but doesn't get along with anyone. I can work with the less-experienced teacher and teach her great teaching strategies. That's easy. What's really difficult is getting someone who doesn't like/want to collaborate to change. We have too much work to do it alone. Teaching can no longer be a "lonely" profession where you close your classroom door and do your own thing. There are some professions where this okay, but more and more jobs that our current high students will be competing for require knowing how to collaborate. [/quote]
