Abstract
A recent approach to combat professional isolation within teaching, and the resulting
intellectual and practical impoverishment, includes the integration of teachers into educator and
school networks. These networks are becoming an important component of education reform strategies
in different countries. However, despite the increased adoption of such initiatives, there is
little systematic research on this type of educational activity, the way it works within the world of
education and the necessary steps so that this potential can be realized in schools and communities.
This paper discusses the concept of networks in education, describes the main defining features of networks in the educational field, reflects on the effects of networks and discusses the problems
and tensions inherent in their operation. The article includes a set of recommendations concerning
the analysis, management and development of networks in education.
