Synopsis
- How do networks create educational change and improve student achievement?
- What kinds of educational policies and practices facilitate network learning?
The first part of the book features studies of four ‘established’ networks who have been functioning for several years. These networks describe their accomplishments, challenges, goals, and the theoretical basis of their work. In the second part of the book, three recently developed networks share their ‘start-up’ experiences and lessons learned. The book concludes by looking at networking as a strategy for educational change.
Key reading for Education students, educational consultants and teacher educators with an interest in educational leadership and educational change.
