Hands-on guide for collaboration among special educators, mainstream teachers, paraprofessionals, parents and volunteers.

For many of us ‘loners’, teaching collaboratively is a radical departure from our comfortable independent teaching style. Collaboration requires us to stretch and grow as we develop a new perspective in addition to a new set of skills. Previously, we depended on ourselves for planning, implementing, managing behavior and evaluating all aspects of our teaching. Now, thanks to federal mandates, we find ourselves sharing our classroom, our students and most of our teaching responsibilities with someone else…someone we may or may not have known before. Best teaching practices also necessitates that we collaborate with administrative staff, paraprofessionals and parents.

Veteran teacher Dr. June Stride provides TIPS and numerous reproducibles that foster a proactive team approach to instruction. Issues addressed include: teaching styles, enhancing teacher/parent communication, building a home/school relationship and dos and don’t’s for working with paraprofessionals.
