What is Teamwork?

First of all it is important to know what Teamwork really means. Then we will be able to say if it is important into the classroom or not. Teamwork is defined in Webster's New World Dictionary as "a joint action by a group of people, in which each person subordinates his or her individual interests and opinions to the unity and efficiency of the group." This does not mean that the individual is no longer important; however, it does mean that effective and efficient teamwork goes beyond individual accomplishments. The most effective teamwork is produced when all the individuals involved harmonize their contributions and work towards a common goal.


So, do you really think teamwork is important for you as a teacher?
