Title: | International Collaboration for In-service: the Bhutanese Multigrade Attachment Program | Contributor(s): | Maxwell, Thomas William (author) | Publication Date: | 2001 | DOI: | 10.1080/13598660120091883 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11587 | Abstract: | The Bhutanese Multigrade Attachment Program has developed through collaboration between a number of agencies and institutions in Australia and Bhutan. The collaboration between funding bodies, the Education Division in Bhutan, the University of New England (UNE) and school communities around Armidale features a shared knowledge of what is needed, an approach that does not privilege one partner over another and processes which focus on mutual understanding. It depends upon trust within continuing relationships, and hard work from those involved. The program has developed considerably and it is evident that there have been a range of positive professional and cultural outcomes for those involved in Bhutan and in Australia. Some difficulties are also identified. The paper is a useful case study for workers and academics involved in, or contemplating, development assistance projects. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 29(3), p. 289-296 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1469-2945 1359-866X |
