Transforming Teamwork by Garmston, Roussin, and Zimmerman is a dense book full of important ideas for developing teams and evolving them into instruments for improving student learning. Like most books I review, there is an underlying assumption that change is a natural and expected phenomenon within our schools. I think we all know that this is often not the case. Change is most often seen as a threat. Which is why this book is important because ultimately this book is about changing the culture of our schools to the point where change is simply a natural collaborative venture for improving student learning.
