Item: Weekly collaboration delay allows teachers to consult/Jacob Livingston, Handle Extra

Christa Hazel: Teachers had been collaborating after school. Collaboration is not a new concept -- it is the "job-embedded" part that is new so now teachers meet during a prime learning hour on a weekly basis. This article states that it was 10 years in the making. 10 years is a long time to not include parent and/or community employers in the discussion. But this article states it's a good thing -- so it must be true. ;)

Question: Any thoughts on teacher collaboration in the Coeur d'Alene School District now that the teachers have been taking the first hour of the week to do so, for the past month?
