The results indicate that both organized professional development and interactions with colleagues who gained instructional expertise from participating in prior professional development were associated with the extent to which teachers changed their writing processes instruction. Furthermore, the effects of professional development varied by teachers\u2019 baseline practices. The study illustrates the potential for using data on teachers\u2019 social networks to investigate indirect effects of professional development and the variation in professional development effects associated with different initial levels of expertise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.education.uw.edu\/epal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/9.-Penuel_-Sun-et-al._-2012_-Using-social-network-analysis-to-study-how-collegial-interactions.pdf\">Using social network analysis to study how collegial interactions can augment teacher learning from external professional development<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>APA Citation:\u00a0<\/strong>Penuel, W.
