Collaboration at the satellite classes

Earlier on in the term I sent out a survey to all satellite class teachers at Sommerville.  I collected data from teachers around collaboration with their support staff, colleagues in other satellites and teachers at Sommerville in general. Here are the results below.

Being in a satellite class across and large geographical area presents many barriers. Here are some  barriers to collaboration that teachers in the satellite classes experience.

  • Travel
  • Transport
  • Traffic 
  • Timetable
  • Trust

  As part of my inquiry, I will look at how we can overcome some of these barriers,
