Abstract: | The successful inclusion of children with developmental concerns in general education classrooms is influenced by the participation of general educators on the teams that support these children. One hundred and forty-eight general education teachers who were serving on teams that support children with developmental concerns in schools were asked to complete the Attitudes About Teamwork Survey, the Team Characteristics Survey, and the Team Process Perception Survey. Respondents held a generally positive attitude about teamwork. Challenges related to scheduling and time for teaming were noted. Central themes emerged relative to perceptions about benefits (discipline collaboration, sharing of knowledge/ideas), limitations (time constraints), and supports (collaboration and supports of individual efforts). Respondents provided recommendations for the improvement of teamwork related to management, organization, and communication. Practical implications of the results and directions for further investigation in this area are discussed. |
