How does your school define ‘collaboration' ?

Dictionary.com defines it as:

collaboration (co.lab.or.ey.shun) - noun.

1. the act of working with another or others on a joint project; cooperate

Collaboration between educators, students and parents is essential not only because it may hold the key to each student's success in an increasingly competitive world, but also because it creates a common understanding that fosters innovation and student achievement.

• Why collaboration among educators, students and parents is important and how it can positively impact student achievement.
• How to create a more collaborative environment within your school.
• How technology can positively influence collaboration.
• The positive influence of social media on collaboration.
During this complimentary one-hour webinar, learn how panelists Mark Ray and Wendy Arnold have successfully created collaborative educational environments within their schools and the impact it has had on student achievement.
