Organizing higher education for collaboration: a guide for campus leaders

This book provides needed guidance and advice for how colleges and universities can reorganize to foster more collaborative work. In a time of declining resources, financial challenges, changing demographics, and staff turn-over, institutions are looking for ways to maximize their resources and still improve their effectiveness. Based on a study of campuses that have been successful in recreating their environments to support collaborative work, this book describes both the benefits and necessity of collaboration; reviews trends in collaborative work such as interdisciplinary, K-16 partnerships, team teaching, and learning communities; and proposes a model of collaboration specifically for higher education institutions that will foster greater efficiency, effectiveness, and enhanced student learning.
