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.
