What are Community of Practice groups?
Community of Practice (CoP) groups are learning communities led by experienced learning coaches. Meeting three times over the course of two days, these sessions provide educators with the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion around key ideas, share experiences and best practices, learn from one another, and build lasting professional connections. Through ongoing conversation and reflection, participants will have the chance to deepen their learning while fostering a sense of community with colleagues who share similar interests and passions.

Session 1: What?
Building Community and Purpose
Connect with fellow educators and the learning coach who will guide your Community of Practice throughout all three sessions. Together, you'll build relationships, establish a shared understanding of the topic, and explore why it matters within Christian education.
Session 2: How?
Exploring Practice Together
Led by the same experienced learning coach, participants will examine practical strategies, models, and real-world examples that bring the topic to life in educational settings. Through structured discussions and breakout conversations, educators will talk about the CoP topic through looking at successes and struggles.
Session 3: Now What?
Planning for Meaningful Action
This highly practical session is focused on helping educators turn ideas into action. Participants will collaborate, plan, receive feedback, and develop concrete next steps to apply their learning in their classrooms, schools, and educational contexts.
