Notes:

Background

40% of college professors believe students are underprepared for college research

How can this be taught in high schools?

Students cannot critically analyze information.

What counts as collaboration?

Background

Collaboration includes co-teaching, peer coaching, supporting each other, and working together to reach a common goal.

Theory

Fullan’s Change Theory- initiating a change to determine if the improvement is needed and what plan to use. Change is difficult due to lack of consistency, clear direction, connecting change to the work, teacher support, and ineffective training.

What do you need to collaborate?

Argument

Collaboration requires: (Jao & McDougall, 2016)

-trust

-commit to success

- focus on student work & empirical evidence

-use your strengths

-weekly time to collaborate

Method

Quantitative survey- secondary teachers in North Dakota

How does gender affect collaboration?

Evidence

Data chart in Results pg. 53: Comparison of Gender on Openness to Change: General, Collaboration, Communication

How can admin help?

Argument

Admin needs to be cautious about extra teaching duties beyond courses and offset impediments.

Summary:

Teachers may be reluctant to change lesson plans and wary of extra work. Admin can help make collaboration easier
