“How can I create authentic interdisciplinary projects that are rigorous collaborations for colleagues and students?”

“Co” means equal, so that means encouraging and supporting a culture where teaching partners are equal contributors and feel that they have an equal say in the project. This makes me reflect on how I can be a better partner to my own colleagues – to be better at communicating, spending more time brainstorming ideas, making sure everyone I work with feels like they are an equal contributor to the projects we work on, and finding resources that we can all benefit from or that add to our projects. I feel fortunate that this is what I want to improve at my school, that my focus is on how to make something wonderful, even more wonderful and to push myself in the process.
