Week 7 – Assignment 1: Recommend Dispositions that Support Community and Colleague Collaboration

Note: This is the first of two assignments for this week. Be sure to address the second assignment.

In this first assignment, you will compose two communications (a letter and an email) to stakeholders in which you identify and recommend dispositions that support collaboration. Each communication should provide detailed 

strategies for strengthening the dispositional qualities necessary for collaboration.

 The first submission should include the following three elements submitted as a single document:

• Letter to a community organization – Write a 1 page detailed mock letter to a community organization conveying your disposition toward collaboration, requesting their collaboration, and explaining in detail with examples why your students and the community organization may be mutually interested in the outcome of the potential collaborative work.
• Email to colleagues inviting collaboration – Write a 1 page mock email to colleagues demonstrating your interest in collaboration. Your email must  demonstrate effective dispositions for collaboration and propose a tool or strategy  for accomplishing the collaborative work. Please give some examples.  
• Please inbox me as soon as possible because I have another part of this week that needs to be completed as well. Please be advise of grammatical and typographical errors. Thank you. Also read all of the resources that are uploaded for this assignment. 
• 1 page rationale – Your rationale must explain your approach to each correspondence in detail, and describe the dispositions you intended to communicate to your audience.  Please give examples.
•  Support your rationale with the resources from this week. Please use the following headings to help you to organize your paper:

• • Approach to Community Organization Letter
    • Rationale for Dispositions Communicated
    • Rationale for Articulated Mutual Interest in Collaborative Work
  • Approach to Collegial Email
