Research indicates the most effective and productive configuration for collaborative work is extended blocks of time scheduled within the school day. However, teachers do not like to take time away from their classrooms or other responsibilities. This seems to cause a scheduling issue and obstacle to collaboration. In your paper, do the following:

1. Make a convincing argument that sufficient collaboration time can be consistently available to teachers without impinging on their classroom time or other responsibilities.
2. Discuss the budget constraints placed on collaborative decision-making.
3. Use the information from your readings, your personal experience, and personal observations as evidence to support your argument.
4. Locate at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and provide at least one citation from each source as an in-text citation within your paper.
