Teaching embodies many roles -- in the classroom through
teacher-student interactions, and beyond the classroom through
teacher-adult interactions. This book explains and demonstrates how
collaboration and teamwork can help enhance professionalism and
school quality by overcoming teachers' isolation in the classroom,
in the school, and in their work. The contributing authors address:
historic patterns of isolation; why collaboration is crucial for
vibrant and sustained professionalism; principles of successful
team collaboration in schools and other sectors; school districts'
structure and support for collaborative teams; forces that motivate
or restrain teachers' ability to collaborate; how teachers in
grade-level teams perceive the quality of their training and
support; team members' perceptions of their work in departments;
teachers' use of evidence of student learning to improve teacher
and organizational learning; and teacher-principal collaboration
from the perspectives of exemplary teachers. These chapters provide
insight into the complexity of teachers' roles, and indicate the
necessity to build collaboration within the school and beyond.
