Collaborating with colleagues

Collaboration is an integral part of our whole practicum experience. Without collaboration the whole structure would fall apart. Within my practicum I collaborate with quite a few people; including my PPP, my site coordinator, the para in my room, and two additional teachers I work with in their classrooms. In my experience some of these collaborations have gone more smoothly than others. For instance I feel that the communication between my site coordinator and I has been very good. I feel as if she is always there to help me and listen if needed. Communication and collaboration with my PPP has not gone as smoothly. She is working very hard to help me succeed in my teaching practices, however I feel as if we need to work on better communicating with each other. I think it would also be beneficial to build a better relationship so that we can better know where each other is coming from which would lead to better collaboration. I feel as if I have this more naturally with the other teachers I would with.
