Interactions presents an ideal blend of theory and practical applications for ensuring quality education for all students through cooperation and collaboration. The authors introduce essential communication skills that form the foundation for successful collaboration. They also emphasize problem solving and its common collaborative applications. The text examines such critical topics as teaming, coteaching, consulting, coaching, mentoring and conflict and resistance. Every chapter features numerous opportunities to learn new material, reinforce what's been learned and think critically about topics.

The 9th Edition reflects the continued changes in the priorities for education based on federal mandates as well as practitioner trends. It has been thoroughly revised and updated, featuring new information on working with diverse families and paraeducators, plus it has over 400 new references.
