Creating the best timing possible means choosing a time frame that works well for you and your partner teacher. Flexibility is key to equity, as chapter 7 (page 129) explores, but sometimes curriculum sequencing or seasonal themes make it hard to move a topic to better fit the needs of a partner teacher. For example, many elementary teachers in North America explore reproduction in spring, when students will see evidence of animal and plant birth around them, so a partnership on this topic would need to occur in spring for both teachers—which means that a simultaneous partnership between Southern and Northern Hemisphere schools would be impossible. To avoid problems later in the partnership, be specific if you have time frame requirements (and be sure to identify timing in your outreach by naming the months, as seasons vary depending on hemisphere). Keep in mind that Southern-Hemisphere schools are on summer break during the Northern Hemisphere’s winter, and vice versa, which means that connecting northern and southern schools requires timing partnerships from September to November and from March to May, when schools in both hemispheres are most likely to be in session simultaneously.
