Co-design of interdisciplinary projects as a mechanism for school capacity growth

---

This article examines the use of interdisciplinary project co-design, as a mechanism for increasing the capacity
of a school and promoting the growth of teachers’ professional practice in an urban high school setting.
Changing teaching practices and the professional culture within a school can be extremely difficult. Simply
providing resources about novel strategies can be ineffective. In fact, in some school cultures, suggestions for
classroom practice change can be received with hostility, being viewed by some teachers as acts questioning
their professional competence. This study describes how a strategically chosen task, interdisciplinary project
co-design, was used by external technical assistance providers as a productive, non-threatening mechanism
for instructional improvement, by simultaneously enhancing classroom practices and cultivating the growth
of teacher collaborative practices.

Keywords
Educational change, project-based learning, school capacity, school reform, teacher collaboration, technical assistance
