I can't believe that there is actually a school that not only values teacher collaboration, but allows time for it. I teach in a school where it is suggested and supported that we work together. However, when is there ever time for that? Yes, we have a common 45 minute planning time with our grade level member, but how many other situations come up during the day that you have to end up dealing with during that period? It would be so nice to sit down with colleagues, for the benefit of the students and plan lessons, get feedback, discuss family dynamics, etc. This school sounds incredible.
