In school and in life, students will find that they need to work with a partner or as a member of a group or team. Being able to collaborate is a skill that students will need throughout their lives, but it is also a skill that needs to be taught and strengthened through intentional practice. Learning how to be a good partner and collaborator will set students up to be successful when they need to work with others.
