Abstract | How can we improve support for teachers as they negotiate the pathways into the profession? This book highlights how strong networks of connections with other teachers and with resources have been shown to make a big difference. Online learning networks are one way to help preservice and early career teachers to foster these connections. The greater community of teachers has an interest in helping new teachers to enter the profession. New technologies have allowed teachers to be connected any where, any time; this book discusses principles for the design and implementation of learning networks that can use this connectivity to improve support for beginning teachers. It addresses foundational principles of types of teacher communities (online and offline), types of knowledge relevant to beginning teachers, the idea of presence within a network and methodologies for studying and nurturing communities of teachers, providing recent examples of each. |
