Collaboration is a huge thing in the classroom. Collaboration can mean the act of working with someone to create something, or two or more people working together to achieve the same goal. As for collaboration in the classroom, this can be achieved by group work, partner work, and even just helping one another on individual work.
I found 10 amazing ways to build collaboration in the classroom.
1. Choose which students will work together.
2. Pick group sizes off of what will work best.
3. Teach students how to listen to one another.
4. Set rules of language.
5. Make goals clear.
6. Give each student a role.
7. Use real world problems.
8. Give each group their own task.
9. Warm students up by playing a game.
10. Evaluate each group as their own!

This is just a way to get students acclimated with working together. After this, collaboration should run smoothly.
Overall, Collaboration is so important in the classroom. It can help students be academically successful, go deeper into content meaning, and most importantly teach students to work with other people. This skill will be a lifelong skill. It can carry into their future careers, when they find a spouse and have a family, and so much more.
