 * How does your school/district currently support and or encourage collaboration between teachers?
 * How much do you seek to collaborate with teachers and how do you accomplish this?
 * To what extent do you think collaboration is of growing importance for teachers seeking to implement a 21st century classroom?

I find most of my collaboration is during midterms when I am allowed to sit with other teachers and design essay questions for the test, we were able this year to design pov, main idea multiple choice as well. I find when I don't have a specific task from the department I do get to talk to my neighbor and we exchange ideas and lessons.

I depend on my neighbors because we are spread around the building. The day is busy and the schedule is demanding, many of us are so envolved with out classes that unless we are given the time from the department we don't get to collaborate as much as we should.

with our system trying to have teachers all teach alike sharing lessons and using similar strategies, the collaboration is important to the success of the school and the district
