Collaborating with different educators can support student success and provide support
for teachers. When educators from different fields work together and assist each other, it shows
collaboration and teamwork. “Sharing expertise stimulates productivity and growth as colleagues
collaborate and consult with peers in their areas of special abilities.” (Knackendoffel, Dettmer, &
Thurston, 2017. Pg. 5). Although the different fields will have different duties, they share a
common goal for educational growth for educators and students. Thus, the expertise from all
collaborators is crucial.
Based on my field of study, Early Childhood Education (ECE), compared to other fields
the difference in duties could be characterized as the age of the students, different workplaces,

different skills being taught, and difference in educational requirements needed. For example,
ECE works with children from birth to preschool age whereas other teachers (primary, middle,
and young adult) would work with older students. Another difference of duties in ECE,
compared to an Intervention Specialist in Special Education, ECE focuses on providing basic
education that can allow a child to grow, learn, and develop a safe and nurturing environment.
Whereas Intervention Specialists assess children’s individual needs in the general education
classroom.
When educators collaborate with other educators this supports the educational growth of
students and teachers. “Interestingly, when working together, teachers seem better prepared to
support one another’s strengths and accommodate weaknesses.” (Knackendoffel, Dettmer, &
Thurston, 2017. Pg. 25). Growth can be supported by other educators from observing and
learning from each other. This impacts their ability to work together on curriculum and
instruction which boosts their confidence in the classroom.
The collaboration between educators contributes to school improvement and student
success. Therefore, collaboration supports students’ educational growth because when educators
work jointly, such as the special education teacher and general education teacher, it can reduce
referrals for special education services and more time can be spent on teaching. (Knackendoffel,
Dettmer, & Thurston, 2017. Pg. 25). Also, educational growth for students could improve by
reducing the labels stereotyped in special education students. Students would be able to learn in a
general education setting, while receiving special education services.
Overall, collaborating with different educators can help students develop higher-level
thinking skills, boost their confidence and self-esteem, and improve social and interpersonal
