Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore a concept that has been less examined in empirical research on school organization, namely Network Learning Capacity (NLC).

Ewing, Maureen; Howell, Jessica – College Board, 2015

Research shows that Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) students, particularly…

This paper discusses an…
