Describe The Collaboration Process

Initially, I had a negative view on group working because of the challenges that I had. When I was in high school, my five other friends and I used to work together in a music competition. Although we were supposed to get together to practice

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.

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).

In the article “Small Group Communication” Garth Pittman states that working in groups can actually be very helpful because it will get the job done faster, and develop skills that can be useful at work, school, and/or personal life. He clarifies that people will have different ideas and collaborate with one another to work well in the group. If they can get along well and manage to separate the work, then the project will get done on time without having any troubles. Pittman points out working in groups can get complicated. Few people in the group will not connect with the rest of the members. For those who aren’t used to being in groups can find themselves having a hard time getting use to it. The author believes that there is certain ways

I interact with the mobile dental van. This van goes within the community to help the underserved population that lack access to care for various reasons. As far as the Dobbs Ferry Campus van come to campus and serve a huge population of children, who otherwise may not receive the appropriate care that is needed. They are referred out to specialties if needed. They provide care to the limited secured detention’s youth who are locked down and is not allow to roam free on campus. They provide care to the foster children that are followed by the clinic in the Bronx. It is a way to meet and provide care for the target population within their community. I also deal with the Family Assistance Program that houses

 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.

Collaboration involves negotiation and consensus seeking (Blais & Hayes, 2016). As the assistant director of nursing, I am a member of the Quality Improvement committee. Our purpose is to meet on a monthly basis to review feedbacks from patients regarding their home health aides. We need to know if the patient needs are being met, if they are being treated with respect and what improvements can be made to keep quality aides in order to ensure quality care of patients. Providing good care for home health patients with chronic conditions needs to be organized and coordinated (Barr & Ross, 2007).

On the other hand, collaboration is not useful when a quick resolution is needed due to the time involved. Problems are solved only when everyone has the same goal in mind and works as a team to achieve the goal. As a result, both leaders and coworkers win. In order for the collaborative style to be effective, individuals must be willing

Two of my goals that I have are to collaborate more with other student organizations and IUPUI. I think it is important to collaborate with other student organizations because it is a fantastic opportunity for SPA to build relationships with a wide and diverse audience. I want to collaborate with IUPUI by having monthly events and meetings at convenient locations.

RC is a useful model to evaluate collaboration among groups and organizations. The functional structures are organized to define the power and effectiveness of their relational coordination as well as their patients and staff satisfaction. This concept focuses on work roles and may not consider any individual roles; RC emphasis the aspect of human relationship be it with the patients or within employees; The belief in RC is that as human interactions are formed and trust is developed, people no longer see themselves as having individual agendas but a common goal; ownership of their work fosters mutual trust and the benefit of this is commitment which translates into better care for

The nurse’s role in Teamwork and collaboration is critical. “Several roles of nurses include caregiver, advocate, educator, leader, manager, collaborator, and researcher” (Masters, 2017, p. 332), this description of the nurse’s role indicates nurses are involved in all aspects of the patient care, and play a crucial role delivering the best care to the

As a supervisor, with only six years of experience as an educator, I feel I would begin by implementing the collaborative approach. By selecting the collaborative approach this will allow the most flexibility when conferencing with the teacher. I like how I can prepare myself for the conference with possible improvement goals, and action plans that could be considered and potentially integrate into the teacher’s daily routine, but have the ability to let the teacher have a voice in the conference before I completely determine what approach I should implement. By allowing the teacher to have a voice in the conference, I could then determine if the teacher has the knowledge to identify an appropriate goal and action plan on their own before I make my own suggestions. If the teacher is able to demonstrate the knowledge and an appropriate action plan, I will keep my suggestions to myself and begin using the nondirective behaviors approach. If the teacher is not able to identify an obvious problem, any of its underlying causes, or possible solutions, I could change my approach to either directive control or directive informational.

As Maria’s professional school counselor, individual counseling services would be provided to her in order to gain pertinent personal information including her, her decision making process, culture and worldview as well as assist her with concerns regarding various ramifications. Understandably, Maria is presumably experiencing a difficult time managing the recent struggles in her life such as losing her parents, relocating to a new school in the U.S., being pregnant, and the unknown of what her future holds. Once I have been able to learn more about Maria, counseling services would be provided with consideration to the information gathered from her in conjunction with various resources to assist her with the issues we discussed. Including seeking medical attention to obtain vitamins and care needed during Maria’s pregnancy.

I would collaborate with the unit manager to design the team. We will select diverse champions with different backgrounds, experiences, skills and qualifications. After forming the team, using the similar assessment tools, I will assess the members. This is to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. I would provide the team with the clear idea about the project, purposes, activities included, goals and the timeline to achieve the goals. Depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the members, I will assign the job to the team. The purpose of the activities planned is to make sure the staff are in compliance with the existing policies and protocols of the unit. The team will do chart audits and tracking of the staff activities to ensure the

I used to believe that I did not perform very well in groups. I am an observer who likes to learn alone. I thought I learned best when I worked on my own. Even though I always knew group work had many positive values, I was more comfortable with the lecture-based approach and resisted group work merely because it involved change, not because it had a collaborative learning approach. However, during the learning community project, I came to realize that I learn more effectively when I work in groups. Working in a group was like an adventure for me; there were both exciting and challenging times while preparing for the learning community project.
