Ways of thinking about collaboration
‘doing’ together ‘learning’ together
![Page 8: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Partners Conversation
• Describe a time when you were part of a collaboration or partnership that was particularly effective.
• What did you learn about collaboration from that experience?
• How have you applied what you learned in subsequent collaborative efforts?
![Page 9: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Community Scaled Change
• Public health interventions to improve health and supportive infrastructure at a community scale

NEW WAYS OF THINKING ABOUT COLLABORATION
The New Normal
![Page 13: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Assumptions about Collaboration
Who’s going to do what?
• Effective way of getting work done in resource scarce times
• People contribute what they can
• We meet and email to get things done
• Individual efforts + good communication = Sum Greater Than the Parts
![Page 14: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A New Way of Thinking About Collaboration
Collaboration as Intervention
• Requires attention and strategic approaches
• Needs framework & intentional practice to maximize effectiveness
• Is a key component of successful systems change
• Builds long-term leadership and relationships for increasingly deep or broad impacts
![Page 15: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
COLLABORATION AS INTERVENTION A new paradigm
![Page 16: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How do we think about this?
• Building collaborative capacity to make change in communities
– Providing education so parents choose healthy options for their children • Implementing
interventions
![Page 17: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Where do we usually focus?
• Implementing interventions
![Page 18: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

COLLABORATION IS LIKE A ‘GROUP’ MUSCLE
You have to strengthen it!
![Page 23: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
YOU HAVE TO DO IT ANYWAY, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO FOR IT
![Page 24: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
IN WHAT WAYS IS COLLABORATION IMPORTANT FOR YOUR WORK?
Talk with your neighbor…

TEACHINGS… Learning. Interaction. Connection.
![Page 28: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS A LEARNER.
![Page 29: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
EVERY GROUP INTERACTION IS A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.
EVERY GROUP IS A LEARNING COMMUNITY
![Page 30: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ADULT LEARNERS NEED GROUP PROCESS DESIGNED TO MEET
THEIR LEARNING NEEDS.
![Page 31: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
AGENDAS ARE CURRICULUM. MEETING DESIGN IS PEDAGOGY.
![Page 32: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
THINK LIKE A TEACHER: SCHOOL YEAR.
DAILY LESSON PLAN.
![Page 33: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
3 Principles of Learning Communities
1. Partners as Learners
2. Establishing Learning Objectives
3. Designing Conversation
![Page 34: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
PARTNERS AS LEARNERS Principle #1
![Page 35: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How Do Adults Learn?
• Balance presentation & discussion
• Pairs and small group interaction
• Reflective inquiry to promote synthesis and application
• Review and reinforcement
![Page 36: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Facilitating Learning
Balance presentation & discussion
Pairs and small group interaction
Reflective inquiry to promote synthesis and application
Review and reinforcement
• In what ways do meetings I attend deliberately incorporate these strategies to support adult learning?
![Page 37: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Long-term and Just In Time Learning Objectives
• Overall learning objectives
– Those long-term outcomes that an assessment can help inform
• Meeting-specific learning objectives
– Those immediate objectives that you identify ….”what do they need to understand by the time they leave today?”
![Page 41: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT DEVELOPING LEARNING OBJECTIVES?
Table discussion
![Page 42: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

DESIGNING CONVERSATIONS Principle #3
![Page 44: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
TEACHINGS… Capacity. Participation. Reflection.
![Page 45: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
THE QUALITY OF THE CONVERSATION IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE QUALITY OF ITS DESIGN
![Page 46: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
YOU CAN USE LEARNING THEORY TO GET YOUR WORK DONE TOGETHER
![Page 47: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Meeting as Conversation
STANDARD PARADIGM
• What do we need to get done?
• Do we need handouts?
• What update do they need?
LEARNING PARADIGM
• What are the learning objectives?
• What component of the meeting will be dedicated to group learning?
• How are we designing the meeting to ensure that participants ‘get’ what they need to?
![Page 48: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Meeting Design Principles of a Learning Community
1. Always Build Capacity
– Learning - What people need to learn
2. Keep People Participating
– Conversation - How dialogue needs to be designed and managed
3. Give Time to Think
– Reflection - Why people need meaning-making
![Page 49: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD QUESTIONS
Keep People Participating
![Page 50: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Quality Questions that Produce Quality Interaction
• What works well?
• What’s important to consider?
• What questions do you have?
• What do we need to know to move forward?
• “Based on your experience and what you’ve heard today…..”
![Page 51: Uncovering the Secrets to Effective Collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051919/6285305ca3f53c487746ee51/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Approaches to Stimulating Reflection
• Biographical
– Based on your experience, what do you understand….
• Retrospective
– As you reflect on what we have done so far
• Prospective
– In looking ahead to where we need to go…..
