But this familiar sentiment doesn’t always translate into meaningful professional experiences that help educators or their students grow. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Addressing this critical gap head-on, this book lays out the theory and practice of Collaborative Professionalism. Through five international case studies, the authors distinguish Collaborative Professionalism from professional collaboration by highlighting intentional collaborative designs and providing concrete examples for how to be more purposeful with collaboration.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the book makes Collaborative Professionalism accessible to all educators through clear take-aways including:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen core tenets, including Collective Efficacy, Collaborative Inquiry, and Collaborating With Students. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraphics indicating how educators can move from mere professional collaboration to the deep and transformative work of Collaborative Professionalism. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of which collaborative practices educators should start doing, keep doing, and stop doing  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCollaboration can be one of your most powerful educational tools when used correctly, and turned into action.

On the whole, it isn′t working. There is a better way. One that works: collaboration. Human beings are intensely social creatures and much of what we can and do achieve comes from our capacity for working together. In this illuminating and highly practical book, Andy Hargreaves and Michael T O′Connor show why and how collaboration can and should be the real driver of educational transformation, for our students, teachers, and schools alike. An important and timely work for anyone with a genuine interest in making the changes that matter in schools. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Sir Ken Robinson, Educator and New York Times Best Selling Author of You, Your Child, and School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollaborative Professionalism\u003c\/em\u003e makes an impressive contribution to the development of teaching and improving schools by stressing the importance of investing in social capital in and between schools. Building on their rich experiences and vivid case studies from around the world, Andy Hargreaves and Michael O’Connor promote collaborative professionalism as the next big step in the global movement for educational improvement. This brilliantly written book is a must-read for teachers, leaders, policy-makers, and those who wish to become collaborative professionals. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Pasi Sahlberg, Professor, Gonski Institute for Education, UNSW Sydney, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI strongly recommend \u003cem\u003eCollaborative Professionalism\u003c\/em\u003e to education policy makers, school leaders, and teacher activists.  It has helped me reflect on how to strengthen the teaching profession, at a time of unprecedented threat from technology, retention, and narrow accountability.  The book combines a readable style, with tangible case studies and clear recommendations on what should be done now to foster a healthy future for the most important of professions – working in alliance, with trusted autonomy, and an agility to deal with a time of unprecedented change.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Lord Jim Knight, former Schools Minister and Chief Education Officer, Times Education Supplement, UK\u003cbr\u003eThis wonderful book starts with the proposition that our central question is not whether educators can make a significant difference in the well-being and capabilities of the children we serve and the communities in which they live, but whether we are willing to do so. Our work as educators is urgent; every minute matters for our most school-dependent children. This book is a powerful reminder that getting better is something we do together. -- Rebecca Holcombe, former Secretary of Education for Vermont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHargreaves and O’Connor have written an extraordinary book explaining, deepening, and teaching us how to transform teaching and learning in schools. We learn how people collaborate in five different contexts and cultures across the globe. And we finally understand the important stages of building positive, trusting, thoughtful, and lasting collaborative professionalism with all its significant details.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Ann Lieberman, Senior Scholar at Stanford University\u003cbr\u003eAccessible and deep in equal measure. \u003cem\u003eCollaborative Professionalism\u003c\/em\u003e gives us vivid, creative designs for engaging in lasting collaboration.
