Why collaboration?

This site started last fall as a Fulbright project and my focus then was teacher collaboration, hence the name! I’m a great believer in collaboration of all sorts.

The reason we need teacher collaboration is to give the students quality education and working together as a team ensures just that. At the same time we also need to teach the students how to collaborate. .

I will be writing about Finnish schools, our education in general, collaboration, co-teaching, co-operation, co-planning and everything else I think is relevant (and sometimes not). As I work in a high school, my examples might often come from secondary education, but as I mention on my welcome-page, I regularly meet other teachers as well.
