  2. "Teams outperform individuals acting alone or in larger organizational groupings especially when performance requires multiple skills, judgments and experiences. When performance is defined as the success of a child with complex and challenging needs, this statement most certainly applies." ~Katzenbach & Smith, The Wisdom of Teams, 1993.

  3. What is collaboration? • Team members working together to meet each students' individual goals. • Bringing together complementary skills and experiences. • Understanding and respecting the contribution of each member. • Working hard to overcome barriers that stand in the way of collective performance. • Having the success of the child become its own reward.

  4. What collaboration is not • Related service providers acting like cluster teachers. • Related service providers acting like paraprofessionals to facilitate a lesson. • Related service providers pulling students to a corner of the room.
