Anatomy of a Collaboration


Book Description

This book is a case study of a partnership between a college of education and a large urban school system in a joint project to build and sustain a collaboration for an elementary school to be built on the university campus. It provides insights into the perceptions of each party and describes the basic problems of the collaborative process. The analysis critically examines the conditions that determine success or failure of reform: the personal and public elements that promote and deter collaboration and the paradigms and metaphors from organizational theory, change, and leadership applicable to public schools and colleges of education. After a careful analysis of basic paradigms in organizational development, the book provides a unique constructivist interpretation. Finally, an illuminating set of discussions are presented with critical analytic commentary on the nature of organizational collaboration.

Real Objects and Models


Book Description

Abstract: Concepts on the proper utilization of real objects and models in instruction are presented, discussed, and illustrated to aid teachers in providing the total experience of objects and ideas to their students. The rationale for the text includes the premise that real objects are as important to the math and English teacher as they are to the basketball coach and the medical professor. On the other hand, human ingenuity in the design and construction of models has almost overshadowed an instructor's ability to produce the real thing; yet, as an instructional tool, models may represent the most effective teaching device yet developed. A description of special forms of real objects and models is given, and information on the local production of models is presented. Criteria for the selection and use of these aids are discussed together with future trends. Listings of available sources for these aids also are provided. (wz).
