  What lessons can collaborative teams learn from obstetrics?
  
  Here are four:
  
  1. Our choices about children need to be based on something more than the general impressions of classroom teachers.
  
  2. Our efforts to quantify what we know about our kids don't need to be overly complex or sophisticated.
  
  3. As best practices are identified, they must be replicated.
  When we ignore evidence of successful practices in favor of personal preferences, we are failing as professionals.
  
  4. The most successful practices are practices that can be implemented by every practitioner.
