ABSTRACT
One of the most important things for a first-year school counselor to remember is that he/she is not alone. Some school counselors end up with positions at schools where they are the only counselor in the building. Although they might be alone, it shouldn’t feel that way. Isolation is not an effective way to work, even in education. There are two main types of isolation that teachers experience: egg-crate isolation and avalanche isolation. There are benefits to having teamwork amongst faculty. Those who work as a team can communicate their ideas on effective teaching practices and this can help educators all over better understand their role. Being a member of a team means sharing information that can be helpful, and it can mean that the resources of a school are better utilized. Teachers who are cooperating can share resources quicker and with more guidance.
