Collaborative Teaching in Secondary Schools: Making the Co-Teaching Marriage Work!
Autor Wendy Murawskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2009
Prezentat sub formă de manual practic, Collaborative Teaching in Secondary Schools propune o abordare inovatoare a parteneriatului educațional, utilizând metafora unei relații de cuplu pentru a demistifica procesul de co-predare. Remarcăm modul în care Wendy Murawski reușește să transforme un subiect tehnic într-un ghid accesibil, structurând volumul în patru părți fundamentale: „The Dating Scene”, „The Engagement”, „The Wedding” și „The Marriage”. Această progresie nu este doar stilistică, ci reflectă fidel etapele de formare a unei echipe didactice, de la negocierea rolurilor până la gestionarea spațiului comun și a materialelor.
Putem afirma că forța acestui volum rezidă în echilibrul dintre rigoarea cercetării și aplicabilitatea imediată. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări pur teoretice, Wendy Murawski integrează instrumente de autoevaluare la finalul fiecărei etape, oferind profesorilor și administratorilor posibilitatea de a verifica dacă sunt pregătiți să treacă la nivelul următor de colaborare. Cititorii familiarizați cu How to Co-Teach de Elizabeth Ann Potts vor aprecia aici profunzimea analizei asupra conflictelor de personalitate și a modului în care educatorii generali și cei speciali pot armoniza viziuni pedagogice diferite. În timp ce How to Co-Teach oferă o introducere generală, volumul de față plonjează în detaliile fine ale menținerii unei „uniuni” didactice pe termen lung.
Continuând temele explorate în lucrările sale anterioare, precum What Really Works With Exceptional Learners, autoarea pune un accent deosebit pe incluziune. Structura capitolelor facilitează navigarea rapidă către soluții pentru provocări legate de programare, planificare comună sau evaluare, transformând textul într-o resursă de referință pentru orice școală secundară care dorește să îmbunătățească mediul de învățare pentru elevii cu nevoi diverse.

Recenzii
"The humorous comparison of co-teaching to marriage is the spoonful of sugar that makes the mass of information in this text go down smoothly. While this text is strongly supported by research and expert opinion, it is also written by someone who has practical experience."
"A comprehensive, informative resource with enough humor to keep you reading and enough substance to get you started. The author shares her long experience with co-teaching and gives valuable strategies, forms, and charts to help make your foray into co-teaching as successful as possible.”
"This is the most practical guide to teaching that I’ve read to date! Wendy Murawski has a true-to-life understanding of what really goes on in the K-12 schools and classrooms with teachers, administrators, students, and parents."
"The book provides a fun, practical, and realistic approach to a complex issue in today’s secondary classrooms. The numerous forms provide quick access to remediate, enhance, or simply start a co-teaching relationship. Her approach to building the perfect co-teaching relationship is one that is not only essential, but practical and refreshing."
"This is like an 'Everything You Wanted to Know About Co-Teaching' book that answers questions you did not even know to ask! Murawski's wit, enthusiasm, and expertise are engaging and informative throughout. From the details of starting a co-teaching relationship to the fine art of sustaining the co-teaching union, this book has something for everyone."
"This is a compendium of the latest research and wisdom on co-teaching: where to start on the path, how to avoid the potholes, and what makes it work. Clearly, Murawski has established herself as a national expert on a topic of critical concern to special and general educators. This book is accessible enough for beginners yet detailed enough to provide experienced educators with new approaches and classroom-tested strategies."
"Murawski’s engaging and witty book provides a practical approach to understanding the world of co-teaching. She defines ambiguous special education terms in an understandable format for classroom practitioners. Her use of the marriage metaphor is appropriate for describing the co-teaching process. Murawski’s writing is based on up-to-date co-teaching research that affords secondary co-teachers the ability to translate theory into practice. Through various assessment tools, case studies, and activities, co-teachers can go beyond the honeymoon and engage in successful co-teaching for many years to come. This book is a welcome addition to our field!"
