 Chapter 10: Networking for Best Results on Partnerships

When you're looking to build effective professional partnerships, you need to think

about what you want, who you want, and how you will communicate. Professional

connections can often lead to collaboration and new ideas, but it takes work to ensure the

relationship is strong. It is important to exchange those ideas with other students and teachers

so that everybody can learn something new.  By providing design principles, curriculum

materials, technology tools and professional learning opportunities, networks make it easier

to create a good new school or transform an existing school.
