How to Change the World with Collaboration
Collaborations (with a big C) are
a key component of the success
of Nord Anglia but collaboration
(with a small c) is just as
fundamental to our everyday
success.? From the high-profile
partnerships with organisations
like Juilliard, MIT, Kings College
and UNICEF, to the examples of
team work that happen in a
classroom, it?s the coming
together of knowledge, passion,
experience and curiosity that
ensures bigger and more
meaningful impact than could
ever happen by working alone.
Collaboration and teamwork
can uniquely drive forward learning and skills
development across every area of a school, office
or workplace with positive results.? It?s not just our
students who benefit from these opportunities to
develop creativity and negotiation skills, to
increase tool kits and communication, from
sharing and building on ideas. Parents, teachers,
support staff and Principals benefit equally from
working together in a meaningful way towards a
common goal.
However, great collaborations are a conscious
choice, and need encouragement and dedication
at every level to succeed, although it is definitely
worth making the effort to do this.? The author and
teacher Helen Keller said, ?Alone we can do so
little; together we can do so much?. It?s this
attitude to team work, partnerships and
collaborations, in whatever form they take, that
drives Nord Anglia schools forward to create
greater outcomes. Maybe your collaboration is the
great outcome that could change someone?s world
or even the whole world.
