title: Classroom shared governance.
abstract: As shared governance increases in organizations that employ nurses, it becomes an essential element of professional socialization and preservice education. Framing a course in concepts of shared governance offers students experiential learning in uses of power, accountability, organizational decision making, and peer negotiation. The authors present concepts and examples of classroom shared governance from student and teacher perspectives.
