About the course

This course is for teams of managers who are in the process of implementing, developing or improving the teamwork of teachers or collaborative teaching practice. We strongly encourage more managers from the same school to participate together.

Collaborative teaching involves two or more teachers working together to lead, instruct and mentor groups of students, focusing on the 21st century key competences (such as collaboration, creative and innovative thinking, critical thinking and communication), and often working cross disciplinary. Collaborative teaching/ professional learning communities among teachers can enhance students’ performance and well being. Through collaboration and a reflective practice teachers develop themselves, their own teaching practice and their common approaches to go beyond traditional subjects and to deal better with classes or students in difficulties.

The management of the school has a great responsibility in the transition towards creating collaborative teaching. Both in ensuring that the mission and vision is clear, in translating the vision into daily tasks, as well as in providing the time, space, culture and competences. Furthermore, the management must model the cooperation they would like to see among teachers. The course will look at all these factors as well as give time and space for the teams of participants to tailor a plan that fits their specific school.
