== Three Tiers of Hive ==
Hive has a three-tiered engagement ladder, which illustrates the structure of the network as it expands and evolves from a unassociated cluster of organizations and individuals to a coordinated city-wide strategy aimed at collective impact, shared goals and local relevance.

Participating educators get to both contribute to and observe what it’s like to see youth self-direct their learning and design their own experience in a networked space. Often the question, “Why Hive?” is better answered after seeing a Pop-Up in action: adults see youth interacting and learning with peers, remix and re-interpret their programs, become part of the energy in the room, and perhaps most importantly, see youth travel from different activities/interactions guiding their own path through the controlled chaos. We have distilled the Hive Pop-Up into a Webmaker Teaching Kit [ADD LINK]and this video details the Brooklyn Public Library Storymakers Maker Party/Hive Pop-Up. [A]

=== Tier 2: Hive Learning Communities ===
Hive Learning Communities (HLC) begin to use the connected learning principles and the practices of Hive to operationalize a learning network. They draw heavily from the experience of existing Hive Learning Networks whose leaders function as consultants and mentors sharing information about structure, program design and strategy. Local facilitators then adapt tools, practices, frameworks to their local contexts. They are free to self-identify themselves as Hive and use the branding assets and developmental resources that are openly networked.
Specific characteristics might include:
* Educator meet-ups
* Recruitment and curation of affiliated organizations
* Wider participation and implementation of communication networks
The Hive concept has really developed into a grassroots movement with Hive Learning Communities forming around the globe. Current examples include Hive India, Hive Bay Area, Hive Berlin and others.
