This latest revision has a strong focus on teamwork and includes new material on reconceptualizing collaboration and team-based problem solving.
The authors give us a powerful vision of schools as learning communities, not just for students, but also for adults, teachers, parents, and school administrators. This second edition has been expanded to include interagency connections and ways to develop partnerships with schools. The school–family collaboration chapter covers cross–cultural situations and gives practical strategies. Much more emphasis is given to diversity in this revision.
You’ll find proven activities and checklists at the end of each chapter. Problem solving, team teaching, and working with supporting groups are all part of this second edition.
