  22. Why Collaborate? California Labor Management Initiative Fall 2015 Convenings

  23. Why Collaborate? Question 1: What do you hope to accomplish through collaboration?

  24. Question 2: What are the potential risks of collaboration? Why Collaborate?

  25. Why Collaborate? “I have learned that no single constituency in education can succeed by itself in making our public schools effective for all students. It’s tough enough even if we all work together—impossible if we do not.” - Adam Urbanski, founding director of Teachers Union Reform Network (TURN)

  26. What does authenticlabor-management collaboration look like? • Authentic collaboration takes place at all levels of the system: • At school sites • The district office • Between and among managers, teachers and staff • It’s about cultivating a district-wide culture of collaboration • Authentic collaboration focuses on all matters that affect teaching and learning, not just issues of collective bargaining. • Authentic collaboration does not end disagreements, nor does it always lead to consensus. • Authentic collaboration does not lead to collusion. Why Collaborate?

  27. The Purpose of Collaboration “Labor-management collaboration is not about unions and districts being more cordial to one another for the sake of cordiality. The goal…is to change the substance of the conversation and, ultimately, the quality of decisions.” - Julia Koppich, co-author, United Mindworkers Why Collaborate?

  28. The ultimatepurpose of collaboration and better decision-making is to improve student learning. Why Collaborate?

  29. Intermediary Effects of Collaboration

  30. Why Collaborate? Greater Trust “School reform movements often are accompanied by external pressure to improve quickly and considerable external scrutiny as well. In short, the stakes suddenly are high and the demands for change great. The presence of relational trust, however, moderates the sense of uncertainty and vulnerability that individuals feel as they confront such demands. When trust is strong, individual engagement with reform does not feel like a call for heroic action. In this sense, relational trust is a catalyst for innovation.” - Bryk and Schneider, Trust in Schools

  31. Why Collaborate? The effects of incivility in the workplace based on a poll of 800 managers and employees in 17 industries… • 47% intentionally decreased the time spent at work. • 80% lost work time worrying about the behavior. • 66% said that their performance declined. • 78% said that their commitment to the organization declined. • 12% said that they left their job because of uncivil treatment. • 25% admitted to taking their frustration out on customers. - Porath and Pearson, “The Price of Incivility,” 2013, Harvard Business Review Increased Civility
