- Summary:
-
Teacher education faculty have recently recognized the need for interdisciplinary preservice training that incorporates collaborative approaches, but such training is usually unworkable within the traditional university department structure. Research supports the contention that a team makes more accurate decisions than do individuals acting alone. In addition, federal regulations require that educational evaluation and placement decisions for persons with disabilities be made by an interprofessional team. The lack of team-training curricular models raises questions about the credibility and practicality of university training programs, which, by omission, may be perpetuating chronic problems in the field. Rural teachers, in particular, are often called upon to employ a wider range of skills than their formal training had encompassed. This paper presents a tri-semester curricular model that focuses on self-development as a team player and the formation of team synergy, or increased team effectiveness, in problem-solving situations. Key characteristics of the model are collaboration and role release, which taps expertise from each team member. The second semester addresses exploration of organizational cultures in the immediate life context or community setting, with additional work on mediation and conflict management. The third semester focuses primarily on application of transdisciplinary teaming in the field. Appendices outline curriculum philosophies, levels of development, goals, format, participant responsibilities, and content. (SV)
