In this episode of The Curriculum Corner, the EDCI 751 Class pulls up with a lineup of passionate educators and leaders to discuss about what collaboration really means in today’s school system.

This conversation turns into way more than just a class assignment. It becomes a roundtable of truth, strategy, and experience.

You’ll hear from teachers, district leaders, and a superintendent as they break down how collaboration shows up in their work, what gets in the way, and how we can do better—together.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why collaboration can’t just be a buzzword
• How to lead by example (even if you’re not “in charge”)
• What authentic teamwork looks like in real school settings
• Tips, stories, and straight talk from educators in the trenches
