Collaboration and communication are essential skills in the world beyond school. Teachers often have difficulty teaching students how to collaborate. Many times some students do all the work while others slack off. Paul Curtis, Director District Development at New Tech Network, is adamant about meaningful student experiences that allow them to succeed in their chosen life after school. He models and discusses his "Group Contract" where students commit to certain tasks. It will take time for students to collaborate effectively but the structure is in place.
