Anatomy of a Collaboration Study of a College of Education Public School Partnership

By Judith J. Slater Copyright 1996

    First published in 1996, Anatomy of a Collaboration is an important book for scholars who are interested not only in collaboration between bureaucracies but also in the dynamics of bureaucratic organizations in general. Educational leaders will find the book helpful as a case study of the vicissitudes of collaborative efforts between public school bureaucracies and university teacher education organizations. Slater situates the book in the larger context of educational reform, grounding each chapter around the question: How do we overcome the intractability of bureaucracy, especially when reforms involve the collaboration of bureaucratic organizations?
