Some of you might remember my first article about teacher collaboration, some of you might not; it doesn’t really matter. My point is a different one. I am not sure if this happens in all fields or only with teachers. But let’s face it; we are having trouble or struggling to truly and meaningfully collaborate.
Collaboration is defined as...
