3 Ways for Teachers to Cross-Pollinate and Share Ideas
When teachers are given the space and time to learn from one another on a regular basis, they discover fresh perspectives and new ways to navigate classroom challenges.
Many teachers feel stuck figuring out ways to overcome issues in classrooms all by themselves, which can be isolating and frustrating. But with some intentional effort and time dedicated to collaboration with fellow educators, teachers can build a stronger community of support—and walk away with new strategies for handling their own classes.
