This article presents a review of the development
of platform network models that rely on partnership contracts to implement
comprehensive school reform. The literature from the previous three decades of
development of school networks, emerging largely from the United States of
America, is reviewed. The recent development of similar network models in South
Africa is then presented for comparison. Through the addition of
technology-based platforms, emerging models of platform networks are presented
through a review of minimal contractual requirements for partnering school
boards. Finally, implications for educational leaders, particularly in
struggling, low-income school contexts in South Africa and the United States,
are presented as the impetus for considering partnerships with existing
platform networks and the development of additional public models.
