Collaboration Among Professionals, Students, Families, and Communities provides a foundation for understanding concepts of collaborative learning along with strategies for the application of collaborative skills in teaching.
"In the well-crafted, readable, and engaging Collaboration Among Professionals, Students, Families, and Communities, Richards, Frank, Sableski, and Arnold have written a comprehensive text that blends foundations and principles of collaboration into case studies, new practices, and strategies. The book also incorporates pragmatic tools such as comprehension checks and application activities for students. It is refreshing to have access to a text whose content and structure compels readers to work together and share lessons learned."
