The collapse of the Soviet Union marked a critical turning point in the development of Ukraine's national identity, characterized by significant changes at the societal level. Few organizations reflect the complexities and contradictions of societal changes as poignantly as schools. This book describes educators' experiences in a context of large-scale philosophical, ideological, social, political, and economic changes of the post-Soviet era, and the teachers' interpretation of the impact of related changes upon teacher collaboration in Ukrainian schools within the period of independence. Ultimately, this book focuses on the two-fold process of collaborative school culture development in times of uncertainty and radical change and highlights the need for better understanding of the role of teachers' lives outside of school in the process of establishing collaborative relationships in their work. This book will inform policy makers about the ways in which schools may better respond to teachers' needs in times of societal changes and provide a source of reference for planning reform policies related to teacher collaboration in schools.
