Building and Connecting Learning Communities

Focusing on the creation of Networked Learning Communities (NLCs), this book offers insights for school leaders and educators on linking professional learning across schools. The authors, Steven Katz, Lorna M. Earl, and Sonia Ben Jaafar, draw from their research to define NLCs and illustrate their impact on student learning and engagement. Key themes include the necessity of evidence-based focus, collaborative inquiry, and the roles of leaders in fostering a culture of continuous professional development. The book also addresses sustaining these collaborative efforts.
