When it comes to team collaboration at my school I think our math team is at the "norming" stage of team development. We meet every Friday morning to discuss what we are doing that is working and we also talk about what isn't working for specific students. We then share our own strategies for those students or even strategies we use for our students that may work for other students. This has become a normal thing and everyone on our team is comfortable with sharing how things are going in their classes. I would not put our team at the performing stage yet because we do not really have clear goals to achieve for each of these meetings. This is partly my fault as I am supposed to be the main team leader for these meetings as I am the head of the math department but I am still trying to grasp the culture and the styles of teaching that my peers are bringing to the table and I'm not entirely sure what main goals we should set to achieve. I also am at a roadblock where all the other team members see these meetings more of a requirement for their job rather than a place where great things can come from. I believe at the start of the next semester I will have our team set goals for each of our classes and then we will report what we have done to reach these goals and what is setting us back. I think that would make these meetings more effective and it would move our team into the performing stage.
