Collaboration in Education

Paper Summary:

This report looks at collaboration in education from the perspective of
negotiation and behavior between professionals in the K-12 educational institution. Conflict resolution and negotiation affects not only educational professionals, however, but also other parties that are involved such as students, parents and the external community. This report focuses on collaboration and negotiation between professionals, with the ultimate goal being the productive and effective development of the student. The report looks at conflict, as well as human behavior and diversity and then presents a recommended plan for collaboration within the educational institution, before presenting concluding remarks. Also, the report follows the assumption that the modern educational establishment is, by and large, a microcosm of the society and community which bolsters and surrounds it. In this generalized society, collaborative decision-making and negotiation are important, and in the administrative school setting, they are key.

From the Paper:

"Organizing a plan requires honing it down and making it workable, and only effective decision-makers who are schooled in the ability to lead
positively will be able to make the necessary negations, additions, and alterations that are brought about as the plan begins to enter a real-world frame during the organization process, with the help of other involved parties such as teachers and possibly parents and community representatives. "Administrators and teachers continually strive to improve instructional effectiveness. The full staff is involved in planning for implementation; specific recommendations and guidelines provide the detail needed for good implementation; plans fit the local school context and conditions" (Fitzpatrick, 2001). It is also important at this level to keep a balance of creative solutions and reasonable solutions."
