Partnerships for Improving Schools

In this volume Jones and Maloy present a comprehensive framework for viewing, understanding, and participating in school improvement partnerships. Based on their fifteen years of experiences with various collaborative projects, the authors demonstrate ways to sustain agreements over time through mutually beneficial activities between teachers and members of outside organizations. Interactive partnerships generate formal and informal learning for participants that lead to evolving understandings about personal behaviors and organizational climates, and the new purposes yield strategies and structures for educational reform.Jones, Byrd L. is the author of 'Partnerships for Improving Schools' with ISBN 9780313255946 and ISBN 0313255946.
