At Learning Forward’s Annual Conference last December, I heard Andy Hargreaves and Michael Fullan speak about their book, Professional Capital (Teachers College Press, 2012), and the importance of social capital as a critical driving force in achieving results. Social capital is the expected collective or economic benefits derived from the preferential treatment and cooperation between individuals and groups. Hargreaves and Fullan remind us that in a school, or any organization, human capital alone can’t drive long-term results. It takes social capital — cooperation among people — to achieve results. How does an organization create social capital? A similar question struck me after hearing Damen Lopez from Turnaround Schools speak about collaboration as one of the key steps in school turnaround. How does one create collaboration?
