Riassunto

Collaboration Among Professionals, Students, Families, and Communities provides a foundation for understanding concepts of collaborative learning along with strategies for the application of collaborative skills in teaching. The book moves logically from issues of macro-collaboration (district and school) to micro-collaboration (individual student focus and co-teaching) in K-12 environments before concluding with strategies for family and community collaboration. Significant emphasis is placed on knowledge, skills, and teaching models for pre-service and in-service teachers in general education, special education, and of diverse students including English Learners.

Each chapter includes meaningful pedagogical features such as:

• Learning objectives
• A case study illustrating the implementation of information presented
• A case study challenging the reader to apply the information learned in the chapter
• Study questions for readers in Comprehension Checks at key points in the chapter
• Highlights of major points in a chapter summary for aid in studying content
• University, school, and community-based application activities

A companion website features additional resources, including PowerPoint presentations, practice tests, suggested video and Internet resources, and advanced application activities.

Recensione:

"In the well-crafted, readable, and engaging Collaboration Among Professionals, Students, Families, and Communities, Richards, Frank, Sableski, and Arnold have written a comprehensive text that blends foundations and principles of collaboration into case studies, new practices, and strategies. The book also incorporates pragmatic tools such as comprehension checks and application activities for students. It is refreshing to have access to a text whose content and structure compels readers to work together and share lessons learned."

"A marvelous balance between theory, research, and practical strategies that enable teachers and practitioners to successfully implement collaboration. The authors identify and describe key terms and concepts with clarity and easily understood language. Every parent and professional in the field of special education should be encouraged to read the chapters on overcoming barriers to collaboration and conflict, and managing conflict."

--J. Emmett Gardner, Ph.D., Professor, Special Education Program, The University of Oklahoma, USA
