The document describes the characteristics and goals of implementing networked learning communities across three school districts. Key aspects include grassroots development with shared responsibility among participants, and a shift to a model where students direct their own learning with support from teachers, mentors, and other resources. The goals are to raise reading scores and motivate low readers through using online literature circles to discuss and analyze books.
