Although efforts in educational change are documented and monitored through plans and reports, improvement does not necessarily result from these formal strategies. Instead, a network of interpersonal relationships may ultimately moderate, influence and even determine the direction, speed and depth of change and learning. This relational approach is research based and intuitive: We are social beings and that sociability does not stop outside the schoolhouse door. Alan Daly, UC San Diego Department of Education Studies, explains how the work of education is about shifting a community of learners to become a community that learns. (#30326)
