Essential Partnerships in the Reform of Secondary Science

by: Julie A. Luft

Alice’s travel through Wonderland resembles our journeys with reform. We often encounter new experiences. We learn from events. Some tasks are harder to complete than they initially appear. Moreover, we tend to encounter the same lively characters in our reform efforts that Alice encountered in her journey. If we are to engage successfully in reform efforts, we must work effectively with those who are part of our journey. In this chapter, we will address the different aspects of building partnerships to support reform efforts. Our intention is to provide new insights into the importance of collaborative efforts and guidance in facilitating productive partnerships.
