Academic Senate for California Community Colleges on Collegial Relationships



Julie Bruno, et al. open their article by stating the importance of educators working together in order to bring together change initiatives, creating a unified vision of how change initiatives fit together, and to ensuring their collective success. Working together, in turn, requires trust and goodwill.

This article is helpful in claiming that collegiality—esp. a culture of trust and mutual respect—are necessary for the success of what is a transformative moment for California Community Colleges. The authors suggest a number of individual actions meant to improve collegial relationships. I believe our next steps should be to take these ideas and extend them from individual action to institutionalized policy.
