Transforming School Culture: Can True Collaboration Be Initiated?
Lam, Shui-fong; Yim, Pui-shan; Lam, Tom Wing-hong
Educational Research, v44 n2 p181-95 Sum 2002

Teachers reported that time constrains and psychological pressures (concern that observations were used for evaluation) limited participation. Avoidance of administratively imposed contrived collegiality required school cultures that were congruent with collaboration. (Contains 32 references.) (SK)
