It could be argued that the individuals inside an organization actually work more collaboratively when that organization is in a competitive environment with like entities. Thus, the theory of competition wouldn't pit teacher against teacher, but schools against schools. Would the strongest teacher be more willing to assist the weakest if the entire school were the beneficiary? That's the general idea behind effective team function. I do not agree that all competition is healthy. They key is where the competitive force lies.</p>Chad RatliffTue, 19 May 2009 16:46:32 -0000http://ecologyofeducation.net/wsite/re-emerging-trend-disruptive-innovation/#comment-8904244<p>Outstanding application of Dean Bruner's message to the current state of education.
