Training for collaboration

Abstract

Although there is much commitment to working together collaboratively in special education, there is little training to help staff do this effectively. This paper contains a record of attempts to develop training for collaboration, using mainly reflective enquiry. It is the result of a 4-year project at the University of Birmingham, designed to evaluate these attempts. Results indicate that specific training in collaboration is effective in improving practice. © 1996 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
