Modifying Structure: A Resource for Improved Student Achievement at the Middle Level.

Williamson, Ronald D.

NASSP Bulletin, v80 n578 p17-23 Mar 1996

Many middle schools use teaming or other models to create smaller teaching and learning units. Too often, schools align these models with characteristics advocated in the literature, rather than focusing on collaborative work environments' effects on teachers' and students' lives. These structures' true value lies in the collaborative work conditions they engender. (21 references) (MLH)
