Community, Collaboration, and Collegiality in School Reform: An Odyssey Toward Connections

Angebote / Angebote:

This remarkably candid "tale from the trenches" follows four teachers as they implement "Connections" - an interdisciplinary inclusive program option for ninth-grade students at "Cedar City" High School. As Sheryl (English), Dan (science), Bernie (social studies), and Tim (special education) forge bonds of community, collaboration, and collegiality, their experiences take on the dimensions of an epic journey or odyssey. Interpreted through an ecological lens, this book offers important insight into the world of teaching in an era of school reform. The Connections journey was marked both by stories of triumph and tales of crisis. The stories reflected an emerging vision not only of Connections as an interdisciplinary program, but also of the teaching team as a collaborative, collegial community. By illuminating the real world of Connections, this book offers insights for teachers and administrators, policymakers and students, and all who value community, collaboration, and collegiality in schools.
