Teaming Practices
The goal of the Teaming Practices Laboratory is to identify the characteristics and consequences of teaming practices that support and strengthen parent confidence and competence in promoting their child's participation in everyday family, community, and early childhood activities. Teaming is defined as the practices used by a group of individuals with complimentary skills and abilities who have shared purposes and objectives, and who use shared practices, for both achieving desired outcomes and holding team members accountable for practicing in ways consistent with stated intentions. The Teaming Practices Laboratory activities include studies and initiatives that focus on the characteristics of teaming practices that have optimal child and family benefits. A primary line of research involves the study of the characteristics and consequences of a primary coach approach to teaming. Reference material pertaining to this approach to teaming can be found in our CASEmakers (Volume 1, Number 8) publications.
