Design39Campus, a public school in San Diego, was intentionally designed to make learning experiences more student-centered and project-based, and to make collaboration between students and between teachers a cornerstone of its work. Power, one of the school's founders, shares how teams of teachers who all teach students in the same loosely-age-based group collaborate daily to plan innovative learning experiences for those kids in their charge. She details how the school shifted its use of time and the roles of school adults to make collaboration ubiquitous.Part of a theme issue on "High-Powered Teams."
