“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Teach Different with an African Proverb - Cooperation

How do we know when cooperation is the best strategy for success? Working with other people is hard if you like to work fast. You have to slow down, compromise and wait for people to catch up to your pace. On class projects this can be a brutal experience. Going alone is so much faster and you're judged by your own efforts, not the efforts of others. Yet, cooperating with others brings a measure of success that is much grander than what could have ever been created alone. Join Steve and Dan Fouts – founders of Teach Different and twin brothers with over 50 years of teaching experience – along with United States educator Adina Goldstein from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a compelling conversation about cooperation, enriched by the Teach Different Method.
