Abstract: This study investigates how human agency interacted with, and impacted, the structure, form, function and outcomes of a learning community of special educators in western Canada. The results suggest that the contexts of that community - broadly conceived to include catalytic events, power structures, levels of agency, and members' knowledge and assumptions about the nature and functions of the learning community - powerfully shaped the members' responses to the types of knowledge being generated and shared, and the kinds of changes that happened as a result of the work.
