Describe your collaboration process. I discussed with the teacher (my sister) a few times over the phone, to make sure I was on track with what they were studying in class and if the material I would be bringing was age-level appropriate for her students. I sent her examples via internet and cell phone, and most was approved prior to me engaging the class. Some of the material changed during the class sessions, as you always redirect your lessons as it flows. Overall, the collaboration process went very well.
