Collaboration Nation, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization committed to nothing less than changing the world . . . by helping educational leaders and stakeholders to re-imagine and re-make learning in schools.The pathway to realizing this vision requires participation from all corners and perspectives on education, and begins with:* Leading and sharing transparent education research that brings multiple perspectives and new voices into the conversation on the aspects of Equitable Collaboration* Facilitating open public learning at conferences and other community venues to validate and challenge thinking to create alignment between the vision of success, and the learning models and practices within the school ecosystem;* Developing an intuitive AI-powered assessment portal - the Visible Collaboration Platform™ - that provides a live picture of the previously unknown and invisible aspects of Equitable Collaboration within any learning space; and* Uncovering ways to support the efforts of other mission-aligned organizations and networks.What is Equitable Collaboration?Equitable Collaboration is a new way of thinking about the conditions and experiences that are required to create community, clarity, and competence. As opposed to the more traditional notion of "a group of people working together to accomplish a goal," equitable collaboration occurs when all members of a learning ecosystem (or group) participate and benefit from their participation in the culture. When collaboration is equitable, each person's social, emotional, and intellectual development set the context for stretching the entire group to grow within a "risky" zone of learning (NSRF, 2018) that engages everyone. One cannot understand equitable collaboration by reading or studying, it must be experienced, and reflected upon to sink in. Participant's understanding will be deepened when they reflect on visual representations of the level of equitable collaboration within their own experiences.
