Teacher Perceptions of Collaborative Practices in a Rural High School Setting: Case Study

<p>The purpose of the qualitative case study was to investigate how teachers in a rural high school setting perceived collaborative practices. The case study examined and analyzed the outcomes of teachers’ learning through a personal connection to professional growth through weekly collaborative planning meetings and professional learning communities. Four collaborative groups of SPED and general education teachers from Geometry, 9^th Grade Literature, and Biology, and U.S. History within Rural High School originally were asked to participate in the study. The study concluded with participants in the content areas from Geometry, 9^th Grade Literature, and Biology. A total of eleven teachers served as participants in the study. Interviews, observations, and a focus group were the data collection instruments that connected and answered the three research questions related to the study.</p>
