collaboration
What does working together mean?
• Students work together when the activity requires them to work in pairs or groups to:
• discuss an issue
• solve a problem
• create a product
• Students who work in pairs or groups might also include people from outside the classroom, such as
students in other classes or schools, or community members or experts.
• Students can work together face-to-face or by using technology to share ideas or resources.
What does shared-responsibility mean?
• Students work in pairs or groups to develop a common product, design, or response.
• Shared responsibility is more than simply helping each other; students must collectively own
the work and be mutually responsible for its outcome.
• If the group work involves students or adults from outside the classroom, this qualifies as
shared responsibility ONLY if the students and the outside participants are mutually responsible
for the outcome of the work.
What does making substantive decisions mean?
• Students make substantive decisions together when they must resolve important issues that will guide
their work together.
• Content: Students must use their knowledge of an issue to make a decision that affects the academic content of their
work together, such as taking a stance on a topic they will then write about, or deciding on the hypothesis they will
test.
• Process: Students must plan what they will do, when to do it, what tools they will use, or the roles and
responsibilities of people on the team.
• Product: Students must make fundamental design decisions that affect the nature and usability of their product.
What does working interdependently mean?
• Students’ work is interdependent when all students must participate in order for the team to succeed.
• It is important that the work is structured in a way that requires students to plan together and take the
work of all team members into account so that their product or outcome is complete and fits together.
• For example, if each student is responsible for a page of a presentation, and in the final presentation the
pages are simply assembled together, this is NOT considered interdependent.
• The final presentation is considered interdependent if the students’ contributions must work together to tell
a story or communicate an idea.
THE decision tree of Collaboration
Learn the rubrics of Collaboration

Collaboration
• Let's read the learning
activity and decide which
level of Collaboration
does it meet.
