Nathan Class # 82140, 3 Cr What are the most effective ways to increase collaboration among schools and families, and between schools and community groups? This class, team taught with staff from several community based groups and Joe Nathan, will review research and discuss lessons learned from a vast array of collaborative efforts, both successful and unsuccessful. Participants will be asked to develop a project that promotes collaboration among schools, families, and community members. The project should have some clear benefits for young people. Last summer this class attracted a fascinating array of people - educators, parents and community advocates. Space is limited. Please register soon.
