Does Professional Community Affect the Classroom? Teachers' Work and Student Experiences in Restructuring Schools.
Louis, Karen Seashore; Marks, Helen M.
American Journal of Education, v106 n4 p532-75 Aug 1998
Quantitative and qualitative analyses show that in 24 selected restructuring elementary, middle, and high schools, professional community is strongly associated with technical (measured as authentic pedagogy) and social (measured as social support for achievement) dimensions of classroom organization. The relationships between authentic pedagogy and professional community and social support for achievement are discussed. (SLD)
