  2. Precision: the dynamic balance between consistency and innovation.

  3. Teaching Learning Networks

  4. “networked learning communities are based on the belief that when educators work together they will create new knowledge and spread it to others. Once the knowledge is created and shared, the expectation is that it will change what educators do in their schools and classrooms and how they do it. Ultimately the changes in practice are intended to have an influence on students to enhance their learning and long term success.” Earl & Katz, 2007

  5. Teaching –Learning Networks Informal Networks have been a means of relating in the workplace. Effective educators build networks. Networks allow reciprocal influencing. Networks help us find new ways to think and talk and make meaning about our linked work. Developing explicit shared practices within a school and across schools are outcomes of this work

  6. “educators committed to working collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. Professional learning communities operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous, job-embedded learning for educators.”Dufour, 2006
