Seeing Students As Co-Collaborators: teaching, students, collaboration, tone, learning...
The Tone of Learning
If students are seen as co-collaborators in learning, it immediately shifts the tone of all of the inherent processes.
Students are honored for their passion, curiosity, and even expertise. They are consulted for decisions, are accountable to a variety of audiences, and are under the spotlight to produce constantly. With the right design, passivity is impossible, and any apathy impacts peers, adults, and the community.
Of course, this all assumes that students can prioritize content. That they can source relevant ideas. That they know the causes and effects of altering learning sequence. But if they can’t, isn’t that an issue? A bigger issues than prove you know content?

This is an excellent piece for school administrators or anyone involved in the evaluation process to review. We often rely on common sense. But there is a dark side to common sense that we need to stay aware of. Sometimes our instincts will steer us the wrong way. Behavioral psychologists call this “cognitive bias”. It will affect perceptions, it will affect objectivity, and it will affect relationships—in both positive and negative ways. Here are eight common cognitive biases you might want to look out for in your organization.
