In your small group, share your own experiences of working collaboratively with other teachers in the planning and teaching of lessons. If you have not done this before, what benefits do you think it might bring to your teaching?

In the clip that you have just viewed, the teachers had not only collaborated in the planning of the lesson, they also observed each other teaching and reviewed each other's lessons. Do you feel that the teachers in the clip had concerns about the process? Do they seem to be open and frank in the comments they are making?

What are the major differences between co-planning of lessons and the kind of full collaboration in teaching practiced in this particular school?

Do you have concerns about being observed while teaching? Do you think these concerns are widely shared with other colleagues?

What could help to ease those concerns?
