Connect-Cooperate-Collaborate

__** Session Description **__

Maybe your classroom or faculty/staff/team meetings are different, but in mine I've found that my instructions...requests...and yes, at times even begging...for students to "work in groups" or team members to "tackle this one together", don't always necessarily garner the results I had dreamed up.

In order for effective and efficient action-oriented collaboration to take place, we need specific practices and pathways that we can implement and integrate in order to develop the essential skills and competencies required to do so.

This session will cover 4 Tools for building an intentional culture of collaboration and achievement for success in school, work, and beyond. These tools can be immediately implemented and integrated into the classroom, extra- and co-curricular activities, faculty & staff professional practices, organizational culture, personal practice, and even at home.


 * But don't come to this session planning to just sit and listen....an experiential challenge (that you can take back to your classroom or organization) is waiting for you...the question is...**

**Will you be up to it?**
