Annotation:
Recognizing the benefits and challenges of addressing school issues through collaboration, the purpose of this guide is to help school communities build their own collaborations at the local level. It is based on the idea that collaboration, local control, and self-reliance are keys to achieving successful results in schools and communities. Collaboration happens when people and organizations come together to achieve common goals. The impact of a collaborative action team approach is that often more is accomplished working together than working separately. This guide describes a process that practitioners can use to bring students, parents, community, and school representatives together and to learn how to work together. It includes instructions, activities, resources, and information to help start a local Collaborative Action Team. The information and tools are detailed and comprehensive and require the support and backing of top school district administrators to succeed.
