Community of Practice
Join us for monthly region-wide Community of Practice (CoP) meetings, where educators and community partners collaborate, share knowledge, exchange resources, and develop strategies for effective community school planning and implementation.
Peer Learning Sessions
Join us quarterly for Peer Learning Sessions. During each session, we will learn about the foundational practices in each pillar, spotlight best practices in our region, and connect with other Community School practitioners. These sessions are open to educators, administrators, community partners, families, and anyone interested in learning more about community schools.
