This text offers descriptions and analyses of some of the different
ways in which schools and other educational institutions have
started to establish new collaborative relationships in today's
competitive educational marketplace. Using case studies, the book
describes examples of such collaborative structures.; Educational
consortia have been established as a vehicle for professional and
curriculum development, as a source of mutual support and as a
condition of mutual survival. As the "LEA monopolies" have been
forced to shed many of their traditional functions or schools have
opted out, schools have found it necessary to re-create parts of
their collaborative structures out of sheer self- Interest.; For
Some Educators Who Continue To Be Attached To Notions Of "an
educational service" and professional collegiality in the provision
of such a service, inter-institutional collaboration becomes seen
as something to be valued independently of the instrumental
benefits which it provides. For this variety of reasons, consortium
working and collaborative structures seem set to develop in spite
of, or as a necessary antodote to, educational markets.
Understanding the role and operation of such structures is a
necessity for educational managers in all parts of the educational
service.
