From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: Full time teaching requires educators to collaborate with others in their schools. Special education teachers collaborate with adults in schools everyday---sometimes with members of multidisciplinary teams, paraprofessionals, other teachers, and administrators. In difficult circumstances, communication skills alone are inadequate resources for teachers to overcome collaboration barriers. A sophisticated set of capabilities that can be used to strengthen any collaborative setting is provided to help overcome the barriers. Key Topics: Special education teachers or teachers in training are given realistic tools to incorporate in their day-to-day working relationships. Relevant research is discussed in conjunction with practical applications. Other teachers' thoughts are also expressed, providing a wide range of experiences. Market: This book is aimed for educators and administrators who aim to improve their collaborative environment.
