Kompetanseutviklende samarbeid mellom skole og PP-tjeneste : et spørsmål om møtekoreografi?

Abstract

In this chapter, the light is directed at collaborative meetings as an innovation, in which both school and PPT (educational and psychological counselling service) participate. The meetings are understood as an arena for the development of collaborative skills, and as a pivot point for the development of a professional community. The aim of the meetings has also been to lay the foundations for an extended and improved collaboration between school and PPT, where one looks to a greater extent than previously at ordinary practice and at how this can take care of pupils with different needs. The school discussed in this chapter has itself chosen an approach to innovation both in terms of preparation and management of the meetings, how they are structured, and forms of communication in the meetings. Throughout the project period, we have seen challenges linked to the anchoring and institutionalization of new collaboration routines between school and PPT, but at the same time a development towards a more sustainable collaboration model. Based on our assessment, the innovation has over time contributed to the develop ment of new and improved infrastructure for collaboration on inclusive practices in school.
