By working as a team you can gain valuable knowledge from those who are more experienced than you, but it also allows you to suggest newer and fresher ways to approach learning. Each member or person has their own skill and expertise, communicating with them helps you to learn, build up your own knowledge and know your own responsibilities.By working as a team you will also learn to trust and respect your colleagues, build relationships and build your own confidence.

Teamwork sets a good example to others especially children and shows them they are surrounded by people who they can trust and respect.When adults are working effectively together and are working as part of a team, the children will see them as role models and will follow, copy and mimic what they see, To a parent this shows that the school are setting a good
Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Sonya Y. Berry Gen/200 July 5, 2011 Mary Evelyn Barnes Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Multiple Pathways to Learning Assessment and Personality Spectrum Assessment were found to be very informative with identifying learning styles and a diversity of personality types. It can be assumed that these assessment tools will enable a person to maximize their strengths and compensate for his or her weaknesses.

Conclusion Understanding and evaluating leadership styles and theories can allow an individual to assess his or her capabilities. I admire a charismatic leader, Janet Mock, and her ability to influence and shift the mindsets of others. However, my transformational leadership style provides me with characteristics to motivate other to be more creative and efficient. I can identify certain qualities I wish to possess to hone my charismatic leadership style. Additionally, I would be a well-versed leader that has the capability to tailor different leadership styles to individual behaviors of
As well as reviewing my own development I know that I can rely on other colleageaues to help. If my weakness were for example to be lacking assertiveness, I would call on a colleague that I know to be more assertive than I. Alternatively it may be my colleague has weaknesses where I have strengths. This is where team work is important when we all pull together we can all be consistent. Numerous courses are always available relating to our work. Any one of us can take a course at any time concerning a particular area where we think we may be lacking certain attributes.
Alternative Dispute Resolution Paper LAW/531 Alternative Dispute Resolution Paper Organizations and educational facilities that once relied on individual performances are evolving to more supportive learning team environments. Employees and students work in groups, offering support to each other to achieve set objectives. Although proven to be more efficient, conflicts do occasionally arise so when they do emerge, an effective team should have alternative dispute resolutions (ADR’s) in place as a means to address disputes as they occur. Academic virtual learning environments while rewarding can also cause extreme frustration. The team is reliant on its members to write and submit their portions of the assignment on time.
Each example can be examined by different perspectives, identifying the problems, and suggesting some solutions. Each situation would be different if it was actually happening but a case allows analysis of a real life scenario. Reviewing different cases gives knowledge that will help shape teachers experiences in the classroom. The knowledge teachers can gain from analyzing cases and offering alternate solutions can be applied if similar situations arise in the classroom. Discussing cases in small group settings can be a huge benefit in that each person would bring varying perspectives, critiques and solutions to the table, increasing the knowledge of each teacher more than if they were to just complete individually.
Any person that contributes to the wellbeing of the students and the school as a whole are key players. The key players play various roles at different times and deal with specific concerns, but together they create an environment that is conducive to learning. (Kendra Kelly) According to Boman and Deal (2010), the interests of the key players are very diverse due to the diverse values, backgrounds, beliefs and agendas (Bolman & Deal, 2010.) The interest of key players will also differ due to position and area of expertise. (Kendra Kelly) Players can have varying degrees of power within the political frame.
Communication is vital in building that positive relationship needed for trust and respect, something that is very much needed when working with children, young adults and their parents. It is also important that we model positive and effective communication skills when we are asking pupils to think about how themselves are communicating. If we do not communicate effectively how we expect young adults and children the message is mixed and they find it hard to understand what is acceptable and how we should communicate with each other. 1.2 As Teaching Assistants we need to build effective relationships in order to do our job well. there are several generic principles that underpin building a strong relationship with children, young people and adults: Effective communication - one of the most important aspects of building a relationship is finding a way to communicate effectively.
I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating. It is also necessary to look at the subject being taught and be flexible in the grouping of children. I personally feel that for subjects such as Literacy and Numeracy, where there is pressure for academic success the children should be split into ability groups. I feel by working in ability groups, the children are still able to support each other and there is still a hint of Vygotsky’s ZPD theory being practised, as there is still a range of abilities within an ability group and the more able of one particular ability group, can support the others in the group. It is important to remember that no one child is the same as another, even if they are classified as being of similar ability.
