COLLABORATION: Steps in the Collaborative Process
 

Collaborative program planning and teaching (often called CPPT or Collaboration) is a thoughtful process which involves several key steps. While the work done in each of the steps may vary in complexity, the questions should be answered and incorporated into the planning in some way.

Reflective Practitioner

Develop a planning guide that will work for you. Consider your curriculum objectives, information literacy objectives, student needs, etc. Compare it to the examples provided and the items suggested. Try it with a colleague and then adapt it to make it work. Set it up on the computer so it can be customized with each collaboration.
