An Exploration of Collaboration Among Education Agencies as a Means of Promoting Local School Improvements

Interorganizational collaboration--the process through which different kinds of service agencies, at varying levels of the administrative hierarchy, cooperate in assisting clients--can reduce needless duplication of services, improve interagency communication, and promote more efficient use of human and material resources. The major objective of the study was to learn more about the collaborative process, particulary with respect to state, intermediate, and local education agencies working cooperatively toward school improvements. More specifically, the purpose of the research was to isolate and analyze operational factors which either promote or hinder joint efforts at desirable educational change.
