Collaboration In English Class

Google defines collaboration as “The action of working with someone to produce or create something.” Collaboration consists of leadership, teamwork, and effective-listening, qualities which I confidently believe I can contribute to the MSU community. My first semester of college, I joined a Relay for Life committee where we had weekly decisions about how to improve the lives of those people who have cancer. Relay for Life is a community based event to raise money for the American Cancer Society. As a team, we listened to one another’s comments and engaged in conversation. Working endlessly for hours, and understanding all opinions, we provided an amazing event for those fighting cancer and those helping to fight. The idea of collaboration between

Collaboration: In a community of learners, students work together in teams, partners, or groups. This allows students to gain social skills and increases students’ motivation for the project. Students share ideas and gain a new understanding of the content.

Successful teamwork and collaboration directly affects the efficacy of interdisciplinary communication. When effective communication is achieved within the healthcare team, this increases the amount of positive patient outcomes. Nurses and physicians must cooperate in order to attain a synergetic relationship. Their roles are integral to creating a safe environment for their patients. When all of these elements combine, the quality of care improves and collegial relationships are strengthened.

The two words most often used, ”cooperative and collaboration,” can easily be both applicable to the United States of America and other countries today, and are still often used to describe contract negotiations for the United States of America as well as other countries. (Barnardin & Russell, 2013).

Throughout my academic career, most of the courses I’ve taken were self-disciplined and few projects I was involved with involved teamwork and collaboration. Despite this, my classmates and I would always have group study sessions to do homework and to study the night before a big test. My best examples of collaboration are from my experience while playing varsity basketball.

 I like how you had stated that you had a negative understanding collaboration back when you were in school. I can agree, that I had similar negative experiences with collaboration and force collaborations felt like the group was paddling Upstream; although, the tasks were completed the effort that was needed it was exhausting. I found collaboration that is not forced and with individuals passionate about an end goals, seem to run smoothly, are fun and flow.

The first assignment that comes to mind when I think of Collaborative Practice is the big collaboration paper. We were assigned groups of three to complete a paper about ethics in nursing, patient safety, collaboration in nursing, bullying in nursing, and how each of these topics connected. To complete a paper between three people, while attempting to maintain a good flow for the reader, was very difficult. As well as, contacting the group members to stay informed throughout the process and finish the assignment together on time. Yet, through this I learned the importance of collaboration in nursing and what exactly collaboration can consist of. This will be beneficial to my future as a nurse because I can now understand the importance of the communication skills I practiced while completing this assignment.

During the course of student teaching I have had the opportunity to collaborate with my

Collaboration is a product of clear communication. Collaboration involves working with another person or group of people in order to complete a task or project. Even better, collaboration results in the creation of something unique to the group. Collaboration brings diverse people, some who speak a different language or learn in a different way, together to build new ideas and then learn to manipulate them into increasing more potent, on-going projects. This allows for different people to take on leadership parts within the group and then equally contribute to the work. In this model, it allows the people within the group to lean on true strengths rather than weaknesses.

Work in collaboration with others enabled us as a group to agree by signing a contract on how we were going to work together. The contract was a binding legal agreement between me, my colleagues and my tutor. A contract eliminates confusion and misunderstandings. It defines a relationship between me, my colleagues and my tutor and defines terms and conditions in advance. This means that in counselling when working with the clients I need to work in collaboration with them by agreeing with clients to enable both of us to make shared decisions and to build trust.

The word collaboration means “to work with another person or group in order to achieve or do something” according to Merriam-Webster.com. My opinion of collaborating with the teacher across the hall from me were promising. Until I spoke one morning and then she looked at me (dead-in-my-face) and said nothing. I was shocked and thought to myself; well it’ll be a cold day – if I ever speak to her again! I recalled telling my professor and classmates what happened and during the conversation some of them provided me with strategies to use next time. I recalled laughing and then telling them that I wasn’t going to say anything to that teacher. It was Dr. Oslund, she convinced me that this would be a great change project. So, I bought into the

My first artifact is an interview that I conducted for my 1359 CDEC (Teaching Exceptional Children) class at the DCCCD. This interview is an example of how teachers work together to meet the diverse needs of students. Moreover, this interview is an example of how teachers collaborate together to meet the diverse needs of students. An inclusion teacher and a general classroom teacher work together to better meet the needs of their students with disabilities. They both help, special education students be part of the general classroom, and as well, help them accelerate their academic growth. I believe this artifact is an example that highlights collaboratively learning because the inclusion and the general education teacher work together to help

Collaboration – We provoke ourselves and one another to succeed through cooperation, against imparted objectives and to be responsible for our obligations.

Collaboration was highlighted by me learning that when I am working toward a goal with other people, I need to see what people’s strengths are in the given task, so we can deliver the best project no one has ever seen.

My vision of collaborative learning is a learning strategy that affords the students enormous opportunities and advantages not available through traditional learning processes. I believe that students in a collaborative team tend to attain
