It was a bit redundant and it was quite a bit off track for my course of study. While consultation and collaboration IS important in the field of applied behavior analysis, this text only speaks in the context of the school system and special education teachers. Not Behaviorists.

Practical tools for special educators to use in collaborative partnerships with their colleagues. So wish I had these tools four years ago!

[Malika Norman]

This was a great book . It gives the reader or student the perspective on why it is so important for example teachers and co teachers to get along. It also gives graphs and study charts on how many students and co teachers felt a certain way about a certain element of the classroom they would like to change.

This was a pretty solid textbook until Chapter 8: The Bullshit Woke Chapter. The chapter was replete with social justice and CRT propaganda and it undermined the credibility of everything else in the book. Sigh….

Very informative

[Ness · Rating 1 out of 5]

Had to read these for a collaboration class I took. Very little new information, was very dry and boring, and repeated the same ideas and information numerous times. Boring!!

3.5 A good textbook with lots of resources inside; not as technical as some textbooks are, which I considered a plus!

[Jennifer Bauer · Rating 1 out of 5]

It was redundant. It gave me no new information. It was kind of, sort of, absolutely ridiculous. Somehow I survived reading this. No thank you.

[Blaise Nicoletti · Rating 1 out of 5]

Terrible. A sad confirmation of where we are in our society with regards to such a great lack of maturity among (adolescent) adults. Learned nothing.

This is a good read on how co-teaching and collaboration are good sources for beginners and season teachers. this is especially helpful for strategies for teachers working together in different ways for the better of Special needs students, hence the title. I would recommend for beginning and learning educators as well as season teachers who wish to brush up on information and techniques.
