collaborative 1

Writing 750 words to make a convincing argument that collaboration is available without impinging of classroom time. Using the article: Find Time for Collaboration by Raywid (attached). TII below 10%.
My note:
Everything we have learned about collaboration thus far would indicate that an equally productive use of a teacher’s time is being engaged in effective and successful collaboration (Raywid 1993).
Creating and sustaining time for collaborative work can be done in three ways:
1.Freeing up existing time This approach works within the constraints of the existing schedule calendar negotiated agreement staffing levels etc. to carve out time for collaboration (Raywid 1993).
2.Restructuring or rescheduling In this approach the status quo is altered to create different conditions that allow for collaborative configurations (Raywid 1993).
3.Purchasing collaborative time This approach requires the allocation of financial resources in purchasing additional time for collaboration or by purchasing a means (such as substitutes or additional teachers) to dedicate time for collaboration (Raywid 1993).
