Partnership Teaching: Our Own Growth; Partnership School Council.
Pirtle, Sarah
Paths of Learning: Options for Families & Communities, n11 p23-31 Win 2002
Strategies to implement partnership teaching in the classroom include considering unsuccessful attempts at negotiating social situations as mistakes rather than misbehavior, introducing Gandhi's concept of truthful love, and using nonviolent communication in conflict resolution. A partnership school council involves all students in school governance by rotating representatives instead of electing them. Suggestions for including non-teaching staff are included. (TD)
