Principal Support of Media Specialist and Teacher Collaboration: A Research Study
Morris, Betty J.
Educational Media and Technology Yearbook
This descriptive research study examined principal support of collaboration in Georgia schools designated as having exemplary library media programs from the perspective of media specialists, classroom teachers and principals. A pilot study generated a survey instrument to be used for the exemplary school media program study. The literature on collaboration is well covered; however, literature about the principal's influence on collaboration is becoming an issue of concern. The purpose of this study established principal support of collaboration between media specialists and classroom teachers in Georgia schools with exemplary library media programs. Twelve schools, designated as meeting this criteria, received questionnaires mailed to media specialists, classroom teachers and principals. The hypothesis of the study explored schools with exemplary media programs and principals who support collaboration between media specialists and classroom teachers. The findings for the study supported the hypothesis. Based on the conclusions of the study, principals need to identify improvements to be made in their support of collaboration.
