Download or read book Community, Diversity, and Conflict Among Schoolteachers written by Betty Achinstein. This book was released on 2002-01-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using richly textured case studies of two very different schools, the author shows when teachers enact reforms in the name of community, what often emerges is conflict. Whether dealing with issues of teachers collaboration or how to meet the needs of a diverse student population, conflicts within professional communities reflect important differences of beliefs and practices. This book reframes conflict as constructive in building educational communities that learn and promote democratic values in schools.
