Be a team player. It's one of those sports analogies used frequently in the business world -- and in education. District and school administrators also want team players. The days of closing the classroom door and creating a self-contained world are over. The autonomous classroom simply doesn't exist -- and for good reason. The students need more than just one person to guide their education. They need the added power of several brains working together for their good. Yet collaboration does not always come easily.
Teachers are, for the most part, determined course setters. We also have strong opinions about what works and what doesn't work. That determination and self-direction are beneficial for students; those characteristics facilitate learning and help teachers make it through each day. Put a group of determined, opinionated individuals in the same school, however, and you often have a recipe for headaches.
