Professional learning networks (PLN) of teachers and others (such
as university researchers) collaborating outside of their everyday
community of practice are considered to be an effective way to
foster school improvement. At the same time, to generate change,
PLNs require effective support from school leaders. Such support
should be directed at ensuring those participating in PLNs can
engage in network learning activities; also that this activity can
be meaningfully mobilised within participant's schools. What is
less well understood however are the actions school leaders might
engage in to provide this support. To address this knowledge gap,
this book presents a case study of how senior leaders attempted to
maximise the effectiveness of participating in PLNs for one
learning network: the New Forest Research Learning Network (RLN) -
a specific type of PLN designed to facilitate research-informed
change at scale. In-depth semi-structured interviews with RLN
participants, as well as impact data and policy documents, have
been used to ascertain the types of leadership practices employed
and their nature (i.e. whether geared towards prioritising,
formalising or mobilising the work of the PLN). Also presented is
an assessment of the perceived effectiveness of these practices and
suggestions for the type of leadership activity that appear to
maximise the effectiveness of schools engaging in professional
learning networks more generally.
