Organizational Mapping: The form and function of a K-20 partnership for improvement of mathematics and science teaching

Submitted on April 26, 2006 - 8:36am

This paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, April 11-15, 2005, in Montrèal, Québec, Canada.

Our research asks the following broad questions about the SCALE partnership: 1. Why do particular structures, functions, and people come to work within the SCALE partnership? 2. How do leaders organize people and tools to accomplish partnership goals? This paper particularly addresses the second research question by describing how the partnership, as an organization, has been positioned to meet its goals. In describing the structures, functions, and people actively engaged in SCALE, we introduce "organizational mapping" as a method of census-taking, which provides a partial representation and understanding of the partnership.
