Synopsis : Collaborative Leadership for the Classroom helps teachers prepare students for their highly interactive world. My original Bipolar design lets teachers design their own individual leader models. I have successfully married collaboration with the shopworn Top-Down design, a leftover from the Industrial Age. Readers will find that my use of a building block scheme allows them to add knowledge to what has already been learned from the book. This developmental/incremental design creates collaborative practitioners out of readers in one 60-minute read. Autobiography: I am a former military officer who had to learn to collaborate if I were to have a successful transition to civilian life. So I taught collaboration at the masters level for thirty years. Much evidence of my teaching is represented in Collaborative Leadership for the Classroom.
