This session, "Teachers Working Together: A Successful Community of Practice," explores best practices and innovative ideas that can be shared and cultivated in a collaborative and engaging professional network called a Community of Practice (CoP). Participating in a CoP can help educators gain a positive outlook towards professional development through increased autonomy-the ability to choose learning topics as well as how and when to learn. A successful CoP can grow and sustain a continuous professional education mindset, especially in contexts where educators may have limited options for training and development. In this webinar, we will define a CoP and its components, discuss the benefits of a CoP, share the successes of an ongoing CoP, and examine practical steps for building a sustainable CoP.
