Restructuring Schools for Collaboration

the long version

"This book provides a more comprehensive discussion of collaborative school efforts than any other single source currently available. Specifically, multiple disciplinary perspectives are presented, addressing the complexity, or "promises and pitfalls," of school collaboration efforts. The book is organized in terms of major considerations in school collaboration initiatives - the organizational structure; the change process; interagency and intraschool collaborative efforts; and implications for instruction, leadership, and leadership preparation. Also, the book informs the design of educator preparation programs emphasizing collaborative schools and crossdisciplinary teaching."--BOOK JACKET.
