This manual presents the trainee's workbook and the trainer's guidelines for the first of six modules in a teacher inservice series developed to promote the unified effort of both regular and special education personnel in understanding and applying nationally recognized practices to implement fully inclusive education for students with diverse learning abilities and disabilities. Module 1 is on collaborative teaming and skills for communication in small planning groups. The trainee workbook is in the form of: (1) 38 transparency masters which address building collaborative teams, leadership and trust building, communication skills, a seven-step program for problem solving and decision making, and a seven-step approach to conflict resolution; and (2) nine activity sheets which apply the problem solving and conflict resolution techniques. Appendices to the trainee workbook provide the basic information in more compact form and offer a detailed case study. The trainer guidelines offer learner objectives and suggested comments keyed to each of the transparencies. A pre/post test is also provided. (Contains 22 references.) (DB)
