Abstract: coordination is generally studied almost exclusively with a caseapproach, with the implementation of one specific coordinating method and evaluation of the effects of that method. By contrast, this study explores the daily use of five coordinating strategies in thirty Swedish schools (n = 994 teachers, with an 88 % response-rate to a questionnaire).
