Let’s review the qualities of an Engaged Collaborator. It’s about being a highly effective team member who strategically contributes, provides and solicits feedback, leverages diverse strengths, and facilitates positive group dynamics in professional settings!🐦‍🔥

Today in Mrs. Richardson’s class, we take a look at these students being Engaged Collaborators on their poster project. They are effectively and responsibly collaborating with one another.

An Engaged Collaborator knows how to both give and receive helpful feedback. When you listen to your classmates’ ideas and share your own in a group, you are practicing this skill. Remember, respecting different opinions is key to effective collaboration.

Coming in October we will be focusing more on what an engaged collaborator looks like. This means you can effectively and responsibly collaborate in diverse, complex, and professional settings.🚨🚨⁉️🔵⚪️
