Chapter 6: A Limitless Approach to Collaboration contains a section which when I read previously stuck out but with current events, is more relevant. Dr. Boaler ties collaboration to three actions we can move toward. This happens on many levels but key components for moving to positive interactions depend on 3 things: opening minds, opening content, and embracing uncertainty.
Section (1) Opening Minds is what I want to refer to now. She states "..one of the goals of schools should be to produce citizens who treat each other with respect, who value the contributions of others with whom they interact, irrespective of race, class, or gender, and who act with a sense of justice, considering the needs of others in society. "
Later in the section, she mentions research about fixed versus growth mindset and how people see themselves and one another. Fixed see themselves as not being able to change, therefore others cant change as well. This is in contrast to the growth who can learn from mistakes and can see others as making poor choices but can still grow.
Collaboration starts with the open-mindedness of differences in how we think, how people think differently, different perspectives, and accepting these differences.
There are two more actions but this one seemed like a fitting place to start.
