| Abstract: |
The majority of the research to date on professional learning networks (PLNs) has been conducted in urban settings; few studies specifically examine the experience and impact of rural collaboratives, and even fewer take up a place conscious lens that spans rural and remote contexts (Author, 2020; Battelle for Kids, 2016; Tieken, 2014). This study explores the potential of professional learning networks to impact research and practice related to teaching and learning innovations in rural and remote schools and school districts.
