There appears to he sufficient feedback and data in the studies of the past two years to suggest that there is a connection between the collaborative practices of general and special education teachers, which impact the attitude and perfomance of students with disabilities in a general classroom. It is the goal of the Project Evaluator to study 1) how strategies and activities which result from collaboration of the teachers involved is recorded and implemented in classrooms 2) investigate when and how "collaboration" is addressed as part of staff development either during faculty meetings and/or as part of Staff Development days 3) determine how administrators, classroom teachers are or are planning to assess the implementation of collaborative strategies used by general and special education teachers in general classrooms.
