Adults know the importance of collaboration. They use it every day at work, at home, on the freeway, in the grocery store...
It is a skill, and skills need to be learned. In the IB PYP program we teach transdisciplinary skills. The skills that will be essential for students as they grow into adult citizens of the world. The PYP transdisciplinary skills fall into five categories: social, communication, self-management, thinking, and research.
In order to collaborate effectively, students are practicing the social skills of cooperation and respect while also using communication skills such as listening, speaking, and non-verbal communication.
In the pictures from our 2/3 classrooms below what OTHER skills have students used in order to collaborate? Can you "see" their learning?
