CollaborationTeacher-Teacher collaboration is important to pass on the level of reading that a student is at. When a teacher is collaborating with another teacher, they should also share the improvement of the student. It would be beneficial to share which tier, of the three-tier model, each student is at so that they may be aware of how each student learns best.Teacher-Parent collaboration is also important as the parents need to be aware of the progress of their child. It is also important in order to inform the parents if there is a need for an IEP or a concern for their child.
