The need of the hour at ASB is more collaboration amongst faculty members. Firstly, there needs to be collaboration beyond physical barriers, such that teachers do not teach in total isolation. To achieve this, the teachers need to have time built in their busy teaching schedules to give them time to collaborate regularly. Revolutionary ideas could develop in just additional two blocks every week only for collaboration in their PLC's. Secondly, as it is a small school, it is the prerogative of the leadership to think of innovative ways to incorporate discussion about ideas on education and administration in every aspect within the school rather than restricting it to solely formal discussion . One way of achieving this is through looking at developing more common assessments and curriculum which is a learning ladder right from elementary to the high school. The technology is in place but there needs to be a concerted effort to use this technology to effectively collaborate.
