Short description:

Gary Thomas provides a guide for the new teams now working in the classroom. Identifying key areas of concern such as poor communication, he uses guidelines to improve the stresses and tensions which can arise.

Long description:

The nature of classroom practice is undergoing change as more and more adults are being brought into classrooms in response to such trends as parental involvement and the integration of children with special educational needs. The parents, teachers, ancillary staff and support workers comprising these new groups probabley fail to recognise themselves as teams, but nonetheless they are characterised by the same stresses which mark teamwork in any oter setting. This book is a guide to working together as an effective team, designed to show that they are part of a team, and employ strategies to minimise chances of failure. Gary Thomas identifies key areas of concern, including poor communication, status barriers and inadequate role definition, and offers guidelines for dealing with these stresses and tensions in teamwork.

`..of all the books that have addressed specific aspects of present provision Gary Thomas's Effective Classroom Teamwork is the one that makes the most significant contribution to enhancing classroom practice. It is an excellent guide to working in teams and provides insightful pointers to what makes classroom teams effective and how they can work better together ' Graham Upton, British Book News - January 1993
