Takeaway Points

Education is the most Isolated profession in modern work life.
Isolation is the enemy of improvement.
The best schools/countries report the highest rates of teacher collaboration.
Collaboration creates 1) peer based accountability, 2) reciprocal relational accountability,
meaning we learn from each other, and we problem solve together.
