Preface / v
Sound Instruction: Collaboration in Education Volume III demonstrates the work of university professors, community professionals and teachers in K-12 settings combining their individual expertise to work toward a common belief that their collaboration will enable students or other constituents they serve an enhanced learning experience. To collaborate successfully, professionals must believe in their own contribution but also respect the contribution of the colleague. The dynamics of this relationship provides the richness of the experience. In this volume, professionals have collaborated within institutions, within the community and across the United States and abroad.
The content in Sound Instruction: Collaboration in Education Volume III focuses on four areas: College Readiness and Success, Teacher Education, Professionals Working Together and Community Partnerships. We envision this book serving as a reference for academics at any level who would like to read of other colleagues who have taken the step to look outside their comfort domain to journey to a higher level of expertise and impact a wider array of their constituency. This book provides examples of different partnerships between universities and K-12 schools, between pre-service teachers and in-service teachers, among interdisciplinary faculty members, between faculty and outside agencies and between faculty and their students. The ultimate goal of all these studies is to further educate the students and or people they serve. Technology is the facilitator of collaboration in many of these articles.
Chapter 1 focus on Improving College Readiness and Success is filled with examples of how professors are collaborating across disciplines to reach students early to be more prepared for their college studies and ultimately their careers. Certain STEM discipline areas are in great demand in today’s global economy. Students need to be exposed to these career areas early with academic preparation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Reaching out to middle and high school students will set a strong foundation for the rigor of college studies. One study describes how the middle and high school educators included college and career readiness standards in their instruction in support of a university partnership. Some middle and high schools in poverty areas do not have the resources to successfully teach certain curriculum areas. One article describes how two universities partnered to enhance the physics instruction of high school students in NYC. Partnerships are described involving the development of student’s writing skills in high school and also in college. Once matriculating in college, students must study; pass exams and synthesize their knowledge in order to graduate. One article describes the different types of exam models and another article describes how to assist students to retain cumulative knowledge for their capstone course. One study includes a cross cultural collaboration with Canada in which graduate students are exposed to diverse perspectives on policies and processes. A California Immigration Semester co-taught by professors of cross disciplines enables incoming freshmen to hear multiple perspectives on this topic. The professors hope their model will be adapted by fellow professors to teach their other courses.
In Teacher Education, Chapter 2, professors are always trying to explore new learning opportunities for their teacher candidates, especially when these opportunities will provide the integration of theory and practice in the school setting. The articles chosen for this section provide examples of co-teaching among pre-service and cooperating teachers and various ways professors collaborate with each other to enhance the teacher candidates’ learning experiences. By modeling collaboration, university professors show teacher candidates the importance of this skill which will greatly assist them in their future professional lives in a school. Today’s teachers are not isolated in their classroom but must collaborate with their
peers, specialized professionals, administrators and parents. A study of ESL teachers and content area teachers produced the Collaboration Continuum Model, showing the varying
degrees of collaborative practices for these teachers in K-12 settings. Articles chosen here demonstrate how veteran teachers also benefit from university partnerships. In an article describing a lesson study collaboration group for veteran urban teachers, it was evident that the teachers’ professional development flourished as reported through self-report techniques. Another article explores how mindfulness and contemplative practices can help build community between the university and K-12 constituencies
Chapter 3, Professionals Working Together, includes articles that describe university professionals from different disciplines working together to raise their level of professionalism or attain goals to further the success of their students or the institution. One article demonstrates professor/librarian collaboration in order to measure instructional effectiveness. An article on the process of scholarly writing is included that describes the importance of dialogue among all authors. Another article describes the process of collaborative grant writing- a process that many times included the efforts of multi-disciplinary academics. Certainly there are challenges in this collaboration but the endowment of the grant and who will benefit from the grant’s funding remains the focus for all professionals involved. We also read about professors who are collaborating with urban school administrators to boost school reform through grant writing. In another article a speech language pathologist collaborates with a kindergarten teacher to increase language and pre-literacy skills in students who are at risk for being evaluated for special education services. There is an article in which professors collaborate in teaching graduate level courses in Educational Research and Educational Technology. There are also international collaborations. One article discusses an integrated class of students in the U.S. and Norway. These international interactions proved to be a key learning experience in the course. The article of educational twinning is a longitudinal case study between two elementary schools- one in the U.S. and one in Israel. Twinning fosters global citizenship, respect and the development of personal relationships across borders for members of both schools.
Chapter 4, Community Partnerships focuses on how collaboration can enrich the pursuit of a common goal. One article describes how a web based community of practice was created for special education teachers. The other article shows how to connect ELL teachers electronically to better serve their students. The professional interactions of all these teachers encourage their own reflective practice and helps support teacher effectiveness with their students. Communication technology is very important for autism patients. Their caregivers must effectively collaborate and communicate with them. An article examines the implications and recommendations involved in the communication. Health science programs also rely heavily on the interpersonal skills and interprofessional competencies attained by their students. There is an article describing senior level students and the skills they have acquired while being integrated in community based health settings. There are examples where collaboration assists the needs of outside agencies- such as a museum and a light fixture business – to help these agencies receive feedback and creative ideas for growth. The museum needed assistance in evaluating if their knowledge base was being absorbed by their visitors. The business needed the creative input of students and their social media skills to expand the product line of light fixtures.
Collaboration in Education, Sound Instruction Book Volume III is a compendium of articles written by professionals who are dedicated to the pursuit of professional growth, the enriched learning of the students they teach, the betterment of people they serve and the professional growth of the institutions they represent. In all cases, the writers are striving to improve their
fields. In many of the articles, teachers and teacher candidates will benefit as will college/ university undergraduate students and graduate students and K-12 students. Every article is a proactive attempt to improve the academic setting or improve someone’s ability to succeed in life. As academic professionals, we can learn from these practices and use the examples to spark the pursuit of our own creative, collaborative efforts. Their research efforts can also assist our students whatever grade level. We thank these educators for their creativity, resolve and willingness to share their findings. Our special thanks goes to Maureen E. Connolly for editing parts of this book.
