From Isolation to Integration: Embracing a Collaborative Teaching Mindset As Health and Physical Education teachers, we often feel we live on a deserted island as we are often the only teacher in our department or a smaller chunk of the school compared to other subjects and departments. This setup often leaves us feeling isolated and less integrated with other areas of instruction. I made a goal to deepen the collaboration this year as several opportunities presented themselves. http://slowchathealth.com/2025/05/28/collaborative-mindset/
