  3. Looking collaboratively at student work is not meant to replace the important ways you look at student work by yourself. However, working with others can bring to the surface resources, ideas and strategies that make individual efforts more productive. It is hard to imagine doctors who never consult with other physicians (or with their patients) but rather make all the decisions about their patient’s prognoses and treatments on their own. Like doctors, educators also benefit from consultation with colleagues. In the teaching profession, student work provides data that allow professionals to work together to make the best possible decisions for their students. • David Allen, Looking at Student Work Together
