Working alone in the world of education has become so much a part of the air we breathe, that we don't give a second thought to common statements heard in professional learning sessions such as: "When you return to yourclassroom", "I have organized my classroom to achieve..." or "We should coordinate what happens in each of our classrooms." In the world of education, working in teams is nearly nonexistent in training and practice in both highly effective schools found around the world and those that struggle to develop relevant teaching and learning experiences in their communities.teamED takes readers on an interactive journey from the essential elements of forming a team, being thoughtful about the size and type of teams we create while sharing strategies for sustaining effective teams. Each chapter includes multiple invitations to reflect upon current practices and desired future practices as educators, project teammates, or community partners.teamED includes a focus on teams in action, teams and transformation, and ultimately a call to action to grow individually and collectively as teams taking on some of the world's greatest challenges. Although this book focuses on the world of education, we have often adapted the team exercises to team projects, business retreats, and community transformation experiences.The authors include insights from interviews of young people, educators, and community partners with team experiences on six continents including Suzie Boss, Ela Ben-Ur, Katie Cunningham, Clara Patricia Guzman Silva, Bob Lenz, Samson Nyikuri Nyongesa, Rose Poka, Milton Javier Pirazan Rodriguez, Amaris Salazar, Kavita Tanna & Willy Wijnands.
