Collaboration and the Community

Common Core initiatives have shifted the focus of districts across the country from how we teach to how we assess what we teach.  Now, more than ever, collaboration is critical.  Administrators are tasked with the problem of providing funding, meeting regulations, sustaining accreditation, and countering attacks from all directions.  Their jobs are difficult.

Teachers are equally challenged.  They are expected to demonstrate student progress, maintain classroom environments that are supportive of diverse needs, teach more content in less time, and answer the demands of desperate parents, and administrators.

In the firestorm surrounding all this, students and families have to survive.  I believe it is more important than ever to uplift collaboration that involves all stakeholders in the education of our children.  If we as a professional learning community work together to educate the next generation, our labor is less intensive and much more beneficial.

One way Professional Education Resources can help our communities grow stronger is to share the collaborative efforts of those in the community with other educators.  Contract Professional Education Resources to complete a Collaboration Event Archive and we will do all the work.  Coverage includes professionally written articles for local media providers, photography by appointment if requested, digital content on drive or cloud to be distributed by you, and professional documentation to archive, celebrate, and analyze the outcome of the collaboration project.

 Please call or email to contact Professional Education Resources when you are collaborating on a learning initiative.  Together we can keep the team in the process and make education the priority of your community.
