School District Educational Infrastructure and Change at Scale: Teacher Peer Interactions and Their Beliefs About Mathematics Instruction (2017, methodology): “We measured the extent to which a teacher had opportunities to engage with their peers’ beliefs about math instruction via their interactions using an approach similar to Frank, Zhao, and Borman (2004); Penuel, Sun, Frank, and Gallagher (2012); and Sun et al. (2013).”
Implementation and Effects Of One-to-One Computing Initiatives (2006, background): “The finding that other teachers are particularly important in helping teachers learn how to integrate technology into the classroom, however, has only recently become the focus of systematic research in educational technology (Frank et al., 2004).”
Analyzing Teacher Participation in Literacy Coaching Activities (2011, methodology): “We also integrate within this general framework several key observations from the ecological change theory applied by Zhao and Frank (2003), and insights about the role of informal school social networks in the processes of innovation diffusion from Frank, Zhao, and Borman (2004).”
Using social network methods to study school leadership (2009, methodology): “Social network analysis is increasingly used in the study of policy implementation and school leadership (Frank and Zhao 2004; Frank, Zhao, and Borman 2004; Friedkin and Slater 1994; Ogawa 1994; Spillane 2005).”
Shaping Professional Development to Promote the Diffusion of Instructional Expertise Among Teachers (2013, methodology): “Following the our prior work (e.g., Frank et al., 2004; Penuel et al., 2012), we developed this measure using a two-stage process.”
Intra- and Interschool Interactions about Instruction: Exploring the Conditions for Social Capital Development (2015, background): “74 American Journal of Education Spillane, Hopkins, and Sweet Within schools, social capital enables instructional reform and school improvement (Bryk and Schneider 2002; Frank et al. 2004; Louis andKruse 1995; McLaughlin and Talbert 2001; Rosenholtz 1991; Smylie and Hart 1999).”
