When teachers work in a silo, it limits the collective thinking or brainstorming that is critical to innovative ideas that can transform teaching and learning. Change is hard, and sometimes schools are unwilling to change due to many factors. However, moving outside your comfort zone and into the learning zone is a step to breaking down school silos. With skilled educators and the digital resources of today, we have ideas and strategies available 24/7. We have the power to shift a school into a collaborative community and to have critical conversations about exciting and innovative change in schools. A collaborative culture is more than merely attending a scheduled meeting, sharing lessons as a requirement of being on a team, or sitting through common planning time sessions. It requires transparency, honesty, integrity, dependability, accountability, and educators’ commitment to shared goals.

Education is a long standing institution filled with rules, regulations, and policies that have been in place since schooling began. These rules, regulations, and policies filter their way down into our schools. They shape our classrooms, our programs, and ultimately our students. They have great power and influence and can create educators who feel they are just cogs in a wheel of the status quo. But educators are faced with the challenge of meeting the individual needs of those they lead in a world that quite literally changes overnight. To meet these needs we must challenge the way things have always been done because growth requires change. With that growth and change comes risk taking and failure. And so, creating change requires disruption; Disruption of what it means to be an educator; Disruption of what it means to be a leader; Disruption of a system that defines failure as an end point, not a beginning.
