British education researchers Brown and Flood present a case study of how senior education leaders attempted to maximize the effectiveness of participating in professional learning networks for one learning network: the New Forest Research Learning Network, a specific kind of professional learning network designed to facilitate research-informed change at scale. They draw on in-depth semi-structured interviews with participants as well as on impact data and policy documents to ascertain the types of leadership practice they employed and the nature of those practices.--Annotation (c)2019 (protoview.com)
