popular students take over and
shy, less popular students are
left behind.
With skilled instruction, collaborating enables children to share what they know and can do with others with whom they might not routinely interact.

How are individual contributions and abilities to work as a team assessed?
Contributions
Are the talents and skills of everyone in the group leveraged?
Is everyone given the opportunity to make contributions?
Do you assign roles that play to individual strengths?
Are diverse points of view solicited and welcome?
How is feedback used to improve collaboration?

Compromise–Consensus
Do collaborators have opportunities to share constructive feedback?
Do collaborators know how to compromise and reach consensus?

Creative, Collaborative Culture
How is conflict handled? Are disagreements handled respectfully?
Does the group have strategies to make sure everyone contributes—without some people dominating or others left out?
Is there a culture of creative collaboration —an environment in which people respect one another’s ideas and nurture creative expression?

Key Points
The role of educators, parents and community members is to collaborate for students’ success, develop students’ collaboration skills and foster a culture of collaboration.
Collaboration is a fundamental 21st century skill. The arts give people a context for collaboration —and an engaging way to learn together. The 4 Cs of collaboration—a Common Goal, Contributions, Compromise–Consensus and a Creative, Collaborative Culture—help us understand the key elements of collaboration for students and adults.
