Collaboration and professionalism go hand-in-hand.

There are five NEU areas of focus that


make up the Collaboration Commitment. You will be creating an exceptional system of
collaboration using the five areas of focus that make up the NEU collaborative commitment
for a professional field of your choice: public or private, non-profit or proprietary, military,
corporate, or other.
You will be split into groups by your instructor. Groups will be announced at the beginning
of the week. As you prepare for this discussion, consider how collaboration supports
professionalism and professionalism encourages collaboration. See you in the discussion!
Prepare
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 4 and 6 on collaboration from No
Excuses University (Lopez, 2013). You can also review the recommended resources to help
complete this assignment.
Reflect
Within your own professional experiences, reflect on the five areas of focus found in Chapter
6 that make up the NEU collaboration commitment:

1. Clarity of Purpose
2. Respectful of Time
3. Time Banking
4. Professional Growth
5. Building Candid Professional Relationships
Content Instructions
Using the five areas of the NEU collaboration commitment, create an exceptional system of
collaboration by completing the following steps:

 Develop a statement that addresses how you will remain committed to


collaboration within your professional field of choice.
 Outline an implementation plan that will help you achieve your statement.
o The implementation plan should include each of the five areas of the
NEU collaboration commitment.
 Identify your strengths that could contribute to the success of the system of
collaboration.
o You may take the free High5 Test (Links to an external site.) to help
you determine your strengths. The test may return several strengths;
choose two to three and summarize.
o Discuss some of the challenges that may arise from creating and
implementing this system of collaboration.
o Describe one or two ways to overcome these challenges.
 Explain how this system of collaboration could be used to implement an
instructional management plan.
The appendix in our No Excuses University textbook shows a great example of a
commitment statement. “We are committed to creating a school that knows no limits to the
academic success of each student” (Lopez, 2013). We need to be committed to create such a
school, environment where everyone has the access to quality learning process. We need to
prepare our students for kindergarten, college, and the workplace so that they are ready to
learn at all stages of their life. We believe that students should achieve academic achievement.
To do this, we as staff need to make sure our students are receiving quality instruction from
teachers and that each staff member is collaborating with one another. We have put together an
implementation plan to demonstrate how we will be committed to working with one another
throughout the centre.

The new chapter six as provided the area of focus that makes up commitment that would be
of great help in schools. The focus area is the Clarity of Purpose, Respectful of Time, Time
Banking, Professional Growth, Building Candid Professional Relationships(Lopez, 2013).
Lopez states that these commitments should contain between four to six areas of focus.
(Lopez, 2013 para. 11). After reading the collaboration of commitment, it has really opened
my thinking in an area which I have never come across in the schools where I have worked.
Though many schools that have worked for also have like I – 4 out of the five focus area that
makes up the collaboration commitment.
My viewpoint on collaboration changed in the area of candid professional relationship.
Collaboration is the process of working together as a group to achieve a common goal and to
take the organization to a higher level of success. I have come to realize it is important to
build a strong professional relationship together. There are some schools I have worked for I
noticed they lacked candid professional relationship because some teachers like to have their
own group that they bound together. This can affect the growth and success of the school. I
would really love that schools should implement the candid professional relationship 100
percent. It will be a great success for students and the teachers.

Implementation Goal: Multicultural education is one of the important goals for my school.
My school classrooms consist of students from different backgrounds, class, color, gender,
language, and ethnicity etc. So, it is very important for all the stakeholders of the learning
process to work out a plan so that we can create such an environment in the school so that
every student can learn without any problem. With better planning and fund management, it
can be achieved. Like students from different linguistic background have to provide with
latest language technologies so that they can learn in their language and understand the lesson
completely. So, for this professional plan, the goal would be to create a conductive
environment in the classroom so that multicultural education can be promoted in the schools.
Implementation Plan: This can be achieved only by the collaboration and communication
between different stakeholders. I think with achievable time and work, we can help our
school to be fully multicultural and help students from all the communities. If we talk about
the time, then I think we can make achieve our goals in 1-1.5 years, if we keep working on
our process. We need to keep the people motivated and try to be focused on our goal and do
not get carried away by smaller achievements, and we need to keep working for the ultimate
goal of making our school multicultural not only on papers but also in spirit.

My most important strength is my negotiating power. I have always been good with
convincing people. So, I think I can be a bridge between different stakeholder here and try to
talk everyone out and make them understand why it is important for the schools to become
multicultural as it helps in creating more equal society. It we think about the Lopez, he is also
thinking of a school which have the capability and environment to cater all the students.
There will be many challenges in going forward but some are very important like managing
the resources and taking everyone into confidence. I think we need to talk to every
stakeholder and try to convince them about the importance of diverse learning process in the
schools and how it can have a positive impact on our learning process. For the issue of
finance, we need to look for other ways of getting funds other than the traditional ones. It will
give us more flexibility in implementing new ideas.
