The author cites evidence showing that collaboration often leads to increased trust, stronger professional relationships, better policies, better implementation of programs and, ultimately, to better outcomes for students. Drawing on new research, his own experience, and the experience of dozens of other district and union leaders, Futernick details key features and benefits of labor-management collaboration. He also identifies and addresses several obstacles preventing its widespread adoption, including resistance to change, myths about what collaboration really means, skepticism about unions, lack of technical support, and misguided education policy. The Courage to Collaborate recommends strategies and tactics for educators, policy makers, and others interested in embracing collaboration over confrontation. Both sides-unions and management-must make changes so that collaboration becomes the norm, rather than the exception, Futernick argues. While not sufficient in itself, labor-management collaboration is a necessary ingredient for creating an education system in which all students have an opportunity to attend good schools. -- Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Changing the Narrative -- What is Labor-Management Collaboration? -- The Impact of Labor-Management Collaboration -- Obstacles to Collaboration -- Cultivating Collaboration, Part I: Strategies -- Cultivating Collaboration, Part II: Tactics -- Needed Reforms for Management and Unions -- The Future We Choose -- A Guide to Resources on Labor-Management Collaboration in Education. 650 0 $a Educational change $z United States. 650 0 $a Teachers' unions $z United States. 650 0 $a Collective bargaining $x Teachers $z United States. 650 0 $a Teacher participation in administration $z United States. 650 0 $a School management and organization $z United States. 650 0 $a School personnel management $z United States. 650 0 $a Public schools $z United States. 650 0 $a Teachers $z United States. 650 7 $a Collective bargaining $x Teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00867334 650 7 $a Educational change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903371 650 7 $a Public schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082942 650 7 $a School management and organization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107575 650 7 $a School personnel management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107668 650 7 $a Teacher participation in administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144218 650 7 $a Teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144248 650 7 $a Teachers' unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144535 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?vid=isbn9781612508931 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304031859.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20161004020546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A23357289F811E6850761E1DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
