Saving time: Collaboration

Middle leadership
Time is our most precious commodity and it is often in short supply. In this five-part series, Adam Riches looks at how we can change common practices to help save time and improve teaching and learning. Part three focuses on powerful collaboration

As the saying goes, two heads are better than one and this is something that is directly applicable to simplifying teaching practice.

A department of 15 teachers collaborating effectively is much more effective than a larger group of people working in isolation.

When I think about collaboration, I always think about planning. However, there is so much more to collaboration than that.
Creating a culture of collaboration is not straight-forward. It can be hard to persuade people to work openly with each other.

But if you can get staff to see the positives, you can simplify practice and reduce workload for teachers significantly.
